travel log : west coast tour : encinitas, ca

three days after leaving portland, we arrived in sunny encinitas, ca, home of tim & gina crozier.  we were last here two years ago, & we are glad to be here again.  goodness, this place has my favorite weather on the planet.  & some really great people, too.  

we will be here for two days, then head to redlands for two days, returning here for a few days to rest before touring again (using their guesthouse as home base for a bit).

the croziers have a few laying hens, which heron loves feeding.  here tim is educating her on chicken maintenance.  it looks like she's telling this little lady, "live long & prosper"!


heron & shepherd have loved hanging out with the crozier boys, caleb & micah.  here's heron & shepherd in their first music video, with caleb.  (my first attempt to film a music video, too)


                                                              
our first day here was the day of josh's encinitas show at la paloma theatre.  the kids wanted to see their daddy in action, so i swung them by the theatre for merch set-up + sound check. 








a friend's mother was able to babysit so i could attend the show.  i will miss most of the shows on this tour, since i'll be with my little buddies heron & shepherd, but the encinitas show was one that i really wanted to make it to!

: we love josh harmony!  he's opening up for josh on this tour! :


(josh is also a pro-skater who rides for toy machine.  he's a husband & father of two kids heron & shepherd's ages, so we're looking forward to getting to know his whole family while we're here in southern cal)

: la paloma is a beautiful old theatre :



tim did such an amazing job putting this show together.  the theatre was packed out & full of life.  it was such a stellar beginning to the tour!
