Who doesn't love California?
I mean seriously! The weather is awesome, there is always a scent of flowers in the air, and the beaches are gorgeous! We usually go to Disneyland in the winter so we don't ever just play at the ocean. This summer we decided to have a beach vacation as a family. Probably one of our last vacations all together! Oh, my heart is breaking at that thought! I have to say, we lived it up and truly had a fantastic week together!
The Davis family graciously hosted us. We arrived around 9:30pm and after 12 hours of driving in a van, packed like sardines, they knew just what we needed...
SNOWCONES!
and a refreshing dip in their pool! We were in HEAVEN!
The next day we headed straight for the San Diego Temple.
So great to all be in the temple together!
(Karl took Taylor and Lauren and hung out with them at the beach since they were too young.)
My wonderful Ashlyn!
Future sister missionary in Mongolia!!
Of course we fit in a hike!
POTATO CHIP ROCK!
How this boy stops my heart!
(holy cow, check out that upper body strength!)
We went on a whale watching cruise...
but only saw dolphins:)
They were spectacular!!
The people I love most in this world!!
We went to the beach every day and practiced surfing.
Taylor was instantly up and a total natural!!
So was Ashlyn! How did I get such coordinated kids?
Love this boy!
A brother cheering for his sister...I might frame this one!
On our last night, we had a big bon fire/bbq at the beach with a bunch of Karl's friends and family.
Fantastic kids!
(not to mention the stunning sunset!!)
