Texas Barlows Visit Orange County

The week after the Barlow Anniversary Party weekend, Mike (Steve's older brother), his wife Elaine and their two kids, Zachary and Hailey, came down to Orange County to spend a week with us. We were so excited to have them and wanted to show them our local hangout spots.

We spent a day with Mickey at the Happiest Place on Earth, swam in the pool, made s'mores on the beach in Corona del Mar, played golf, had lunch at Ruby's on the Balboa Pier in Newport and they visited the Discovery Science Center to checkout the new hockey exhibit.

Come back and visit us soon!

Jim & Joan Celebrate 50 Years of Marriage

On the weekend of June 17th, Steve's parents Jim and Joan, celebrated 50 years of marriage. To celebrate, all of Steve's siblings, Janna, Kelley, Mike, Amy, Jeff and Diana (with their spouses, children and grandchildren) flew/drove in from Florida, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Utah. It was a packed weekend complete with dinners, photo sessions, picnics, pool time, reminiscing, dancing, flipping through old photo albums, constant singing followed by laughter and happy tears. Kudos to Steve's youngest sister, Diana, for taking the lead with planning and organizing such a memorable weekend. Jim and Joan's anniversary party was lovely and celebrating with EVERY family member made it even lovelier.
