The 3 of us are going to participate in a fund raising walk for the Children's Hospital of Orange County on the 19th of October. Hopefully this will generate some good karma for us in case we need their services in the future.
The walk is 5km (3.1 ml) long and winds through Disneyland and California Adventure (yes, this is how they raise funds in Orange County!).
My company is going to sponsor me, but Jen needs to raise some funds. So if you prefer your children on the healthy side, please consider contributing.
It's super easy, all you have to do is go the following web page and fill in the details (it is a secured page).

Catching up on videos #2
This one was taken on Father's Day. It is Callum eating some slightly sour mango.
Catching up on videos #1
There are some videos that haven't made it to the blog, so I will try to post a couple to catch up.
Here is one of Callum learning to play with a laptop.
If you are interested, the website is called Boobah.

Bolsa Chica Ecologicial Reserve
Today we decided to start taking better advantage of some the national parks and other nature preserves in and around Orange County. Plus we decided we had had visitors with us for over two weeks between Tara and Rory's visit and also Jen's parents, so we needed to get some exercise.
We decided that we should start out small, so we went to Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve which is just north of Huntington Beach, right by the ocean. There are a few easy walking trails in the reserve and we chose an easy loop trail. It was the first time we had used the baby backpack since I used it to transport Callum through the airports on our Australia trip.
In the background of this one there are 2 brown Pelicans, which will probably raise the eyebrows of the Australian's who read this list, because if they are anything like me, they are used to the brilliant white Pelicans we have in Australia, but as it turns out these ones are actually supposed to be brown - who would have thought!
This one is a little hard to see but there is a stingray swimming along, it is brown and kind of camouflaged. We actually saw a half dozen different rays, but as it turns out, taking a photo of one and have it be actually visible is a little difficult.

Doheny Beach Trip
Today was the last day that Tara and Rory were in town. They wanted to see a "left coast" sunset before they left so we went down to Doheny Beach with a picnic basket in tow.
We took a whole bunch of photos, so here is a link to an album of some of the highlights.
