Santa Ynez Half Marathon

What a wonderful day we had today! We went to Solvang to see Aunt Holly and Aunt Rebe in the Santa Ynez Half Marathon. The sky was clear, the sun was out, it was a gorgeous day. I remember this time last year, we had the Jesusita Fire, and everything being covered in smoke and ash. What a difference!

Leah fell asleep on the drive up. Here she is in her new convertible car seat, a Britax Roundabout 50 (she was so cute I had to take a picture). The drive to Santa Ynez isn't very long and she slept for only 20 minutes. This is much shorter than her normal 1.5 hour nap!
I was worried Leah would be fussy since her nap was so short, but she was wonderful all day. Leah is actually a very social baby. She loves being out and about.

Jenna was SUPER excited to see Leah and wanted to hold her right away. Here she is with Aunt Jenna and Aunt Rebe. If someone other than mommy is holding Leah, it takes her a while to warm up. But Leah really took a liking to Aunt Jenna. Jenna was feeding and playing with Leah throughout lunch, which probably won her over. In fact, Leah got so comfy with Auntie Jenna, she was even resting her head on her near the end of the day.
Aunt Holly at the end of the race. Can you believe she just finished 13 miles?! She looks great! This is her 2nd half marathon and Rebe's 6th!
PiGGiN group picture, minus Aunt Christy. Why do I look so short?!
We walked around Solvang after lunch and Jenna Ergo'd Leah the whole time. Remember Leah's only slept for 20 minutes. You can tell she's really tired now in this picture. We got some pastries (when you're in Solvang you cannot not get pastries) and said good bye. Leah slept in the car all the way home.
Here are some extra pictures taken last week of Leah on the swing. She loved it!
