We had our first trip as a family of four, and Avalon's first trip ever, to Catalina on July 19-20. Grandma & Grandpa Davis were nice enough to let us stay on their boat while they were on the mainland. We decided it would be easiest to just go for one night so we left very early on Saturday morning and came back late on Sunday. Saturday was fun, but due to Avalon's napping schedule I spent a lot of time on the boat. However, 2.5 year old toddlers dont do so well cooped up on a boat so Aaron and Waylon spent most of the day playing on shore or cruising around in the dinghy boat, which Waylon can actually start--unassisted!!! Seriously, I just about died when he hopped in the boat and turned it on with one try. He definitely has his dad's passion for all things that float. Of course, it wouldn't be a trip to the island unless Waylon got sick. He was lethargic on Sunday, which freaked us out since he is usually bouncing off the walls.

Avalon enjoys her first visit to Catalina...

but she is still not happy about eating solid foods--even in paradise.

During Waylon's nap time, Avalon got some one-on-one silly time with daddy.

Waylon looks cool at the helm of "Waylon's boat." FYI, dont even think about driving the boat when he is around!

Avalon seems to enjoy riding on boats, but lets hope she doesn't ever try to drive the boat when Waylon is around.

Lounging around like a true sun goddess.

Our poor little guy was totally under the weather on Sunday, sleeping in until 11am!!! and then napping on and off. We never figured out the problem, but he was fine the next day (of course).

While Waylon was sick, Aaron took Avalon out to enjoy some harbor cruising.
