California Weekend

This past weekend we went to California with

our friends the Galovichs. The first day we were there we

spent the afternoon at Laguna Beach.

The kids all had so much fun building sandcastles,

playing in the water, paying frisbee and looking for

crabs. Peyton and her buddy Owen had fun sitting

under the umbrella eating snacks with the moms.

(in the background you can see Ryan and the kids

looking for crabs.)

yum yogurt melts!

Blake and Kenyon collecting water for the sand castle.

These two had so much fun with each other all weekend

playing in the sand, {play} fighting each other, bothering

their sisters and wrestling.

Peyton's {face plant right in the sand} face.

McKenzie had so much fun playing in the

water and looking for shells with

Maya.

Peyton and Owen enjoying the shade together.

Jeremy's brother and his family came and joined us

at the beach. Their son and Blake are only a week apart

and had fun playing with each other.

... and loving every minute!

Right before we were getting ready to leave, Ryan

found a crab.

AFter a few of the kids held it, it decided it was

ready to be left alone and pinched Blake!

We were hoping it would have pinched Ryan

when he put it on his chest. ;)

We had such a fun time at the beach

(especially watching the beach wedding that

was going on right by us).

We then went home to get kids in bed so that

the dads could go to

Knott Scary Farm with each other. :)

Sorry no pictures.
