Wingate Family: 2015

July

We took the most amazing trip courtesy of and with my parents to Yellowstone National Park. It was magical and so, so beautiful. We loved it so. I have a whole printed photo book documenting our trip more in depth.

It was the Fourth of July in this picture. We flew into Billings, Montana and went to an authentic rodeo. It was hot but a neat experience. This river was in the town we stayed in. There were also wild turkeys roaming around.

This tepee was actually right behind a little hotel room /cabin we stayed in. There were also deer and buffalo (bison) on this property.

We went on an adult only rafting trip with the Millers. It was fun and I feel like I somewhat conquered my fear of rafting after Andy and I went some time circa 2000 and I fell out of the raft on the first turn as well as several subsequent turns.

August

Back to school and our wedding anniversary always mark August. We ate our anniversary dinner at Moe's and then popped over to Wild Honey for Fro Yo. Made it to the pet store after that.

Nana, Pop and Cayden and Noah came to visit. We headed to Bands on the Beach.

Loren started third grade with this special lady, teacher, and friend - Mrs. Piscopo! Arden started pre-K at Santa Rosa Christian where her Daddy and Loren had both attended.

The girls used to wake up so early and were extra sweet to each other in the morning.

September

That one time Loren grew a bean plant that was started in Mrs. Adascheck's room.

More Wahoos, more snacks.

Ghostbusters! Daddy's favorite childhood movie.

October

School pictures

Andy and I were karate instructors. Loren was Hermione Granger from Harry Potter and Arden was a "fun witch."

The girls and Fred and Wilma Flinstone

Andy as the "Mad Scientist" in Tally's room. Doing lots of dry ice experiments.

November

Little Turkey

We went to California to visit Aunt Mia and family as well as the Anderson Family

I believe this was taken at the Huntington Dog Beach.

We went to the San Diego Zoo!

Aunt Mia kept the girls one day and lent us her car. We visited LA and of course the Hollywood sign.

Had a date day with the Anderson's visiting the wineries in Temecula, CA.
