A few weeks ago we took a family road trip to Southern California. While our target destination was Disneyland, we took a detour for an afternoon at the beach. We met my parents, sisters Kim & Linds and my cousin, Hollie and families at Huntington Beach. It was sunny, beautiful, relaxing, fun, warm. This was the first time the kids have really played at the beach (the Oregon Coast doesn't count!). They loved it. Brett played out in the waves and the kids didn't tire of the waves crashing against their legs. A cool highlight was a seal swimming right in front of us. It was huge. I couldn't help but think of what predator had chased it to shore!

| I think we could become beach bums! |

| I love this pic of Meg. She is beautiful! |

My Grace! This girl loved it all.
The kids have asked several times since we've been home if we could move to California. I guess the swarms of people and traffic jams don't bother them. They just enjoy the journey. Don't think we'll move there but you never know! |
I love your beach pictures sooooo much!! It brings me back to that day which was really a highlite of the trip. Your family really played hard in the ocean. No FEAR!!
