Newport Beach

We have been home now for several weeks but I had to write about what a great time we had in Newport Beach. Brent's family rents a beach house every year right on the beach and we absolutely love every minute of it. Some highlights of the trip include:

-Playing in the sand and boogie boarding. My kids couldn't get enough of the beach!!
-Going to see the Newport temple, it was so beautiful.
-Putting kids to bed and playing games with the adults.
-Running on the boardwalk, it was perfect weather.
-Our little boat ride around balboa island. The kids driving the boat with Grandpa Adams.
-Squeezing in a day at Disneyland with the Hawkins cousins. Watching McKay's face light up every time he saw Mickey Mouse.
-Enjoying sitting on the deck and watching the sunsets while listening to the waves of the ocean. So beautiful, I was in my happy place.
-Spending time in Las Vegas with the Hawkins family.
-Just enjoying time with the Adams family since we don't see them as often as we would like.


Thanks Grandpa and Grandma A.!!

Here are a few pictures from our trip.



**Now back to real life and finishing the sprinklers so we can get our yard in. I am starting to wonder if the yard is ever going to come together. Every time we plan a big yard day the weather doesn't cooperate. Oh-well that's life, wish us luck!! :)

Hi Heather! What a fun trip. It looks like you guys are having a great summer. I love the picture of your kids in front of the temple. You have to frame it and put it in your home. It is precious. Thanks for sharing them. C-ya soon~
