California Part I - The Beach!!

I never thought August would get here! We had been planning this trip since February! My grandparents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this year and they took us all on a cruise to Mexico to celebrate! It was so much fun getting to see all my family and get to spend time with them for a whole week. I have a TON of pictures so I'm going to do this in two different posts.

We decided that since we were going to be in California we HAD to go to the beach. So we went a few days early with Jesse and Amber to go play.

Dallin thought the motel room was SO cool!

After a LONG drive we had to go play at a park to run some energy off that night

Reese is the cutest little thing!

And so is Carter!!

We headed to the beach the next day. It was a nice warm day until you got down to the water. Brrr! The wind that was blowing was pretty chilly from the water. Dallin LOVED the water! He is fearless when it comes to the water and so there was NO way I was going to let go if his hand.

Ignore the blinding whiteness of my legs. I decided to not put sunscreen on myself because we were only going to be there for a little while (I was trying to work on a tan)... not too smart! My shoulders were burnt pretty bad.

Being buried in the sand was a little warmer. Can you see his little toes poking out?

Andrew said there was no way he was going to a beach and not get in the water... so he and jesse did. It was SO cold!

The next day we went to Huntington Beach to just walk in the water and find some shells. We walked on the pier that went out over the water.

This was a better beach we went to than the day before.

His shorts were soaked by the time we left.

I thought it was funny so I had to take a picture!

We loved going to the beach! If we lived closer, we'd be there all the time!
