Santa Monica

 We got in and dropped our stuff at the hotel.  It took us only about 10 minutes before we were in route to the beach.  The guy at the front desk told us to catch the bus and avoid the traffic and parking.  It was a first for our family, but it got us there without any stress.

The only reason I kept the pictures below is to prove I was there.  Sorry, Jack & Julianne.

 My kids LOVED the guy on the corner with all the birds.











 We watched a great group of guys perform a dance routine.


 I love being at the beach with my family.  I think it is hands down my favorite place to be with them.



 We built a big sand castle.













 We rode rides on the pier.






 Lovin' the beach!
 Julianne was dying to see the birds on the way out.

Capture the Flag

We had the Lysters and the Pestkas over for appetizers the other day and the boys were playing in the backyard.  When I looked out I saw my sweet girl playing as the sixth kid, shirt off, goin' at it! 
You go, girl!

Sedona with the family

We swam until our fingers pruned.

It was a great trip and a ton of fun to see my darling nieces.
