During the last few weeks, we had a special visitor at our house - Uncle Kevy! Caleb was pretty frightened of Kevin when we picked him up from the train station, but once we got home, it didn't take long for him to consider Kev his new best friend with full block privileges. We all had a ton of fun together, and we were sad to see Uncle Kevy go. Seriously, I loved having him here.
We had the camera on hand for a few of our little outings.. but certainly not all of them!
On one of them, we met at Spyglass in Shell Beach - Kev and Tyler paddled there, I hiked with Caleb down to the beach. It was a beeeeeeutiful day. I even switched with Tyler for a bit (first time since October...) and caught a few. Caleb played in the rocks and taste-tested pretty much all of them.
Kev tried out Tyler's SUP several times throughout his stay. He picked it up pretty fast, which is commendable, because it is not as easy as it looks.
A very pretty trail.
Up and paddling
Later in the week, we took a hike out to the Pirates Cove cave, just south of Avila. Another beautiful day. Caleb fell asleep of course.

Don't FALL!

"Wait a sec, is that a pair of saggy, leathery buns?"
Alas, it was. Beautiful secluded cove + sunny day = naturists
We hit up Doc Burnstein's afterwards. Actually, it was strictly business - we had to do a taste test comparison to the SLO-Maid ice cream that we had at Avila Barn a few days prior. Kev votes for DB's, while I prefer SLO-Maid.
Kevin conquers the impossible.
Caleb waits patiently like a good little boy with his arms folded (haaa!!! I love this picture). This little person LOOOOOOOVES ice cream. And cookies.
What a lucky duck.
Towards the end of Kev's stay, we hung out at the beach closest to our house (5 mins walking), which, oddly enough, I actually don't frequent much with Caleb for beachy-play (He's usually strapped in a jogger, poor kid). He loved playing in the little sand dunes, so I think I'm definitely going bring him back.
Kevin and Caleb
Kev, in vacation mode. Chillaxin.
Me, in mommy mode, full sprint. The days of sunbathing are over.
Caleb, digging.
And digging. And probably eating something..
"Come back Kevin! I'll be your best friend!"
No really, come back! And everyone else needs to come too!

How FUN! Can we come and visit too?
You'd better! That would be SO much fun!
I wanna be Caleb's best friend too!!! That looks like so much fun! I want to come and take hikes and learn how to stand up paddle and go to ice cream and lay on the beach and play with Caleb!
When I watched Kevin board the train to go up to your place, Suz, it was with the greatest envy, which, now that I see your post, was entirely justified. What a fabulous time!
Hopefully you're all jealous enough to actually come visit.
