California Beach Trip

We left Bre's on Friday and went and picked Kevin up at the airport for my family's annual Newport Beach week. We actually didn't go last summer, so we were super excited to go this year!
This picture is so awesome so I will start off with it. Everyone all together! Yahoo!

Kellan, Jay and Kyse playing on the boogie board. They would take turns pulling eachother around too. So cute
Grandpa and the 5 grandsons
Most of the time we spend at Crystal Cove because it's super close to where we stay. But we also went over to Newport Beach and Balboa a few times as well.
Scott trying out the boogie board. In Newport we were having so much fun trying to get our boards side by side to ride the waves together. We had a ton of fun together
Hailey hates getting her picture taken these days, can you tell?
Jay having a great time playing catch with Grandma
We stopped in the middle of beach play to walk over to Crab Cooker. MMmmmm! So yummy!
And snowcones on the way back of course!
Back to Crystal Cove

There were tons of dolphins the last day at the beach! They were so close to the shore and kept swimming back and forth so we could watch. So awesome!!
Kellan and Jay. What are these two going to be like in 10 years? Scary thought
Dad built Ari a mermaid tail of course
Cutest picture ever of my mom and dad!! They celebrate 40 years of marriage next month!!

Exploring the tidepools with grandma and grandpa
Mostly we just hung out at the beach every day, did a little swimming at the timeshare, and ate yummy food of course. And the cousins just played and played together every day

Enjoying some icecream!
Oh and of course the candy shop in Balboa. We can't forget that! (The kids won't let us that is!)
Bre and the boys came back for a day of swimming at the timeshare and the candy shop. Grandma bought all the kids cute little bags to put their candy in :)
Taking it easy in the morning with Grandma
And some relaxation before bed with Grandpa :)
We had the best week! Always so much fun!
We stayed the night at my moms Friday and Saturday night. For some reason I got sick and was in bed with a fever this night but the kids swam and roasted marshmallows of course
Swimming at Aunt Candices
Watching Uncle Rick do some fireworks before bed
Then off home we went. With one more child then we came with :) Mia came home with us to spend the week in Logan!
