Getting Out

The boys at the Santa Cruz Zen Center practicing meditation.
On Saturday we went to The Santa Cruz Japanese Cultural Festival. It was entertaining and there were many Japanese things there. We saw some HUGE Koi fish, glass bead makers (not so Japanese), we went to the Zen Center so the boys could see where I meditate. While we were in the neighborhood, it so happened the Santa Cruz Mission was open and we went in there. I've been meaning to do this for a while and I'm so glad we did. It was a beautiful building and it's got an interesting history behind it. Well, all in all it turned out pretty well. Not every day can be as exciting as, say laser tag at the board walk, you know?

Max found this fish at the fair - someone was basically having a yard sale. :) It is now on his bedside table where only "cool things can be - NO plastic stuff because it's bad for the environment."

Coleman and Chris try out a new toy called the - well I don't remember, but it was fun.
