Boyce Thompson Arboretum

Sean & I went to the Boyce Thompson Arboretum a few years ago & really loved it, so ever since then we've been "members", or supporters :) As a result, we get in for free! & usually get a few guest passes. So yesterday we went with Tiffany & Caio for a little hike & picnic. It was lots of fun!!

We took Red with us cause we haven't been giving him all the walks we should since Sam came along! He pretty much just dragged Sean along the trail.


I got some great use out of our Snugglie! I turned Sam away from me so he could see all the plants & people. He loved it!!!
despite how he may look in that picture! As we were about half way through the hike it seemed like his head was extra bobbly... turns out he was actually asleep! Which just affirms the assumption that newborns can sleep anywhere.


Siblings...


There weren't any cool animals on display like the last time we went- but we did catch a glimpse of a cardinal in the picnic area.






Tiffany & Caio...





Red with some serious tail action









drooly boy!







This next picture is pretty much how Sam looks most the time now. His hands are his favorite & he spends most of the day either sucking on them, or flailing them about.









or accidently scratching part of his face







Classic Julia pose of the Johnsons

Sam definitely had a good day :)





he's lucky aunt Tiffy kept him company in the back!


yay nature :)

That is one seriously cute baby! When (emphasis on the when) we move to AZ you have to take us along on some of your outdoor adventures. They always look so fun! :)

Looks like a fun day. I remember how much fun we had last year. Although I bet it wasnt quite as hot this time.

All of you look great. Sam is getting so big!

That Arboretum looks cool. I wish Drew and I could have seen more stuff like that when we lived there...
