We were invited to spend the day with our friends Anne, Brian, Meg, Peter, and their little ones while they were on a weekend getaway to Ojai.  How could we say no?  On top of it, Meg and Peter invited along 2 of Vince's camp counselor's, Kayleigh and Andrew, to help with the kids and they were fantastic with them.  Shortly after we arrived, the boy's took off for a round of golf while we made way to the water park.  Ashlyn was enamored by large mirror in their weekend house.

Reghan wasted no time getting into the water.

Heath was a little more hesitant.
 Ashlyn stuck close to Anne, but really, can you blame her?
 Lunch time snuck up on us pretty quickly and there was no loss of appetite.
 
 Ice cream anyone?
Then back to the house for naps (if that's what we want to call it)  Vince got a set of golf clubs for his 3rd birthday and they were a hit with all.  Vince and Heath enjoyed them while Reghan and Wrigley played fetch.
 Believe it or not, they were quite cordial with each other while playing.
A little conditioning for the not too distant future when Max gets old enough to take Vince on.  All in all, it was a pretty even wrestling match with lots of laughter.
 
The dynamic duo moving to the pool.
The house owners have little ones too so there were many new toys to entertain.

 Cutie Vince.
 A little bubble pool break before the yummy dinner made by Anne and Brian.
The deck in the back yard lended itself well to a dancing stage as the day began to came to a close.

 The crowd getting bigger.
Leave it up to the Meg to post this picture and I couldn't resist stealing it from their blog.  Note: Steven does have a swimsuit on.  Given that none of the kids wanted to get cleaned up to leave, we reverted to closing them all in the shower with Daddy so we could get our tired teddies into their pj's.
The day was wonderful and we'd like to thank them for the invitation.  The link here is the link to the Cotugno Family Blog which has more photo's. http://cotugnofamily.blogspot.com/2012/07/ojai.html?spref=bl
