Summer Fun in SO CAL!

We were lucky to drive down to Newport this weekend and meet up with Robb, Dalee + kids, Lance, Becky + Wyatt and Glenn and Merrily. We had so much fun relaxing on the beach! Troy taught Gavin and Colby how to Boogie Board and they loved it! Colby even got up on a Surf Board.
Friday morning we went to Huntington Beach. It was not crowded and the perfect temperature and wave conditions for the family.
Becky and Merrily chillin on the Beach.

Gavin caught a great ride into the Beach.

Even Glenn got in on the wave action!

Gavin does not have a whole lot of insulation so he spent a good deal of time warming up on the hot sand.

Colby would start by warming up and then transform into a Sand Monkey. He enticed Simi to join his crusade and they were Sand Monkeys together.

Colby and Sand are one.

Dalee was AMAZING! Boogie Boarding, swimming, enjoying the Beach altogether and due in October.

I was trying to get a cool family picture of Robb's family. At least a few of them, but the waves were not cooperating.

I love following Mazzy on the beach watching her do her thing.

Simi is such a sweet heart!

Troy loves car shows and managed to wake Gavin up about 6:30 am on Saturday to join he, Robb, Glen and Lance.

Saturday we went to Dana Point to meet up with Ladd, Jen and some of her family who had been up there having a family reunion the previous week

Colby was really up for anything on this trip. He is a natural Boogie Boarder and loved the Surfing experience as well.


I was trying to get Venice to smile but clearly not on the agenda!

Gavin loves hanging out with his cousin Warner. They are kindred spirits.

Ladd's family had already gotten in the car, so they missed out on this spur of the moment photo op after eating at TK Burger.

After Church on Sunday we needed to get a little energy out before the trip home. We found a perfect park in Costa Mesa and got to hang out with Robb and Dalee for a few more minutes.






It was such a fun weekend and a great way to end the Summer Vacation!
