It was a heavenly vacation.
I should have posted about it weeks ago.
I've been busy, busy over at my Orange Tree Papers site!
Check out the new facebook page
here.
Redesigned the
blog a bit too.
Anyway, here are some pictures from our 9-day escape to Southern California.
Great times.
Great friends.
Great memories.
This was my view from my chair.
I couldn't think of a better way to spend the week.
The kids loved going out on the rock wall and spotting crabs, starfish, etc.
Lily and her cousin Abby
All the kiddos.
Dave would dig a giant hole for them everyday.
They loved it.
They found a sand crab.
Poor crab.
Pretty sure he's passed on. RIP.
Sweet Benson.
Surfer dude.
Huggies can hold some serious liquid.
This little man played a trick on me and was hiding in the sand.
He had the hat and sand strainer strategically placed over his face by his Daddy.
I was looking for him and standing right on his body.
He didn't even laugh or make a peep!
Little trickster.
The kiddos will all their loot outside the Balboa Island candy store.
Me and my man.
The babes.
On the Balboa Island Ferry.
We met up with my parents for the last two days of our trip in Hermosa Beach, CA
My older brother lives - about 100 meters from the beach.
Can you spell J.E.A.L.O.U.S??
I can't even imagine.
Here is a picture of Lily & Nana.
Cannon running.
I was afraid he'd fall on this pathway from the beach to Casey's place.
He did.
Skinned his knee pretty good.
Oh well.
At least he had fun running.
How lucky am I?
Could I have more handsome boys?
Uncle Casey playing some beach volleyball.
His sweet girlfriend Helen.
So much fun with my family.
Can't wait until next year.
