California...

The last week of our kids Summer break, we went to Newport Beach to enjoy our favorite place...the beach! This year we were able to enjoy it with my niece Kristin and her kids who just moved back from Omaha!! We are so glad to have them close by again! It's kinda crazy that my niece and I have kids the same age! Well, she never really felt like a niece to me anyway, more like a little sis! It was her kids first time at the beach. I think it's an understatement to say that her oldest girl LOVED it! She didn't waste any time, she was out boogie boarding the minute we got there. This is her after her first ride in...
I think her parents need to move closer to the beach!! :)
and her other girls loved the sand...



Speaking of sand....here's Jessica...I don't know how kids can have sand plastered all over them and not even care!

As usual, Rach was on the boogie board the whole time.
and Sam caught his first wave!
There's nothing like friends, cousins and the beach!! (Thanks Harps for meeting us there! :)
Julia (my other cute niece) pretty much just enjoyed the view listening to her music. She's not really a big fan of the sand. But she was a good sport and it was fun to have her there!
I love these next pictures of Tommy and Ammon! I think it was a mud fight that turned into, "Let's make ourselves into mud monsters!"


TOTALLY PLASTERED in mud!!

Friday we went to LegoLand! Lots of lines and lots of people, but there were some good times.



And now here we are, school is in and those are only memories...but oh are they ever GREAT memories!!!

love the pictures but where is the one of the baby that had the sandy snot? that has got to be the best shot.
We love it when you come out here and play at the beach with us. Hope it's not too intrusive on your family!

I agree! The sandy snot must be a classic! Well I must say...I feel quite honored to have over-taken this blog post. We had so much fun with you guys! Now lets not forget all of the trouble we caused at the hotel or the "nickel" incident at Legoland! I am so glad that we can live so close again so that we can party with the Trumans every chance we get! Speaking of....just 36 hours till the next one!

What a fun end of summer trip! I wish we had taken more trips to the beach when we lived in Vegas since it's so close! Great pictures!!
