John & Becky Bunting

We had another odd job this week. We drove down to Santa Barbara last Saturday to pick up a friend (Jason) from EFY. Mariah and her BFF Brooke came along to keep him company so he wouldn’t have to spend the day with two boring adults. We realized that we are officially old. The three kids sat in the backseat and did not want to talk to us. Rather than walk around as a group, we walked in front and they followed behind us. On a positive note, we felt we had authority because they were obligated to follow us wherever we went and leave the stores when we decided it was time.

We had a great time visiting the Ty Warner Sea Center and learning about how we’re ruining life for all creatures in the sea. We went shopping on the pier and downtown. We spent about 2 hours in the bookstore, which we all loved except Jason. We also went shopping at American Apparel, a store with great t-shirts. And of course we had lunch at In-n-Out.

I added a bunch of family pictures to the photo album under Becky’s photos. I got them off my mom’s computer, and I don’t know where she got them, but they are cool. There are also new pictures for June.  Here’s a sample:
