California

Adam had to go to Pomona, California for work at the end of March. Since two of Kristen's brothers and their families live in Burbank, we thought, hey! We should all go. So...we did. We flew into Burbank, drove to Nolan's house and hung out, then Adam drove to Pomona for the show. Turns out, he didn't need to do much the next day, so he headed back to Burbank and hung out. Kristen's parents, her aunt, and her grandparents also came down for the weekend! Here's a snap shot of things we did that week:

• Toured Dreamworks Animation studios with Nolan, and toured Aaron's recording studio (we also toured Stephanie's library, but didn't get any pictures).

Kristen...um...doing a voiceover?

• Ate out at some cool places, including the Buchanan Arms, an English pub - the guy who served us seemed to be pretty impressed that we were actual Buchanans.

• Went to the beach. We went to walk through some caves, but didn't make it before the wave came. Scarlett was really freaked out, but Daddy saved her.

Who's that babe?

Family minus Felicity

•  Hung out. :)

Just being cute

If I have to take pictures, I'm going to make a silly face

See if you can spot the one least excited about the book

• A really cool book store, and happy meals in the park.

Adam had to work this day

• Rode the train, ponies, and the carousel at Griffith Park. The carousel is where Walt Disney came up with the idea for Disneyland, and Scarlett had a blast riding the ponies.

Theresa's comment: "You look like a cute little gay couple."

Like mother like daughter

• We also made a fancy bottled soda run. I got Black Lemonade. We had a few people try it.

All in all, we had a lot of fun, and so nice to be with family. Now people should come visit us!
