I know I’ve said it before but we are so fortunate to live next to the beach! We headed down to enjoy the fun and sun on Sunday. In about a month it will be even better since we can go in the water! This year we’re going to teach the boys to boogie board – if they’ll do it!
It was a little too cold to do anything but put our feet in the water – but even that was a treat.
Here are some pictures from our adventure:

Aren’t we cute?

One of the perks of living in G-town is that we are relatively close to each of my three siblings. And living with my parents means that if they come to visit Mom & Dad they cannot help but get a visit with the four of us. We’ve been up to see Lyndsy & Jon, we’re going to Alan & Jen’s at the end of the month, and on Monday we got to see Neal and Meleah. They bought a condo in the LBC. We’ve been there several times – this time takes the cake though! We got to meet Neal at his office in downtown, walk to the Port of LBC, go to their house for dinner, and play lots!
Neal and Meleah are a good mix for our family. They both like to play, have fun, joke around, and have a good time. We had such a blast! I’m looking forward to our next N&M family adventure!

Walking across the bridge to the port.
The train that takes the containers from ships to trucks. So cool, especially for the two little boys.
Helping to wash Meleah’s car! Nothing like kid-labor.
We were thrilled to hear that my cousin Stephanie and her husband James were going to be in town last weekend. Stephanie grew up in a town near my hometown so we have always been close. It was fun to get to know James before we moved away. They came down to visit her family and have a vacation. We were tickled that they wanted to see us. I actually think James just wanted to see the boys and see if they’d talk about body parts or bodily functions.
We met them at Balboa Beach. It was a ton of fun!
James played Frisbee and badminton with the boys for a while. Well, you cannot actually play the game with them – rather you just hit the ball, they scream with delight, and then you have to go pick the ball back up and hit it again. James was a good sport:
Steph’s Mom (my Aunt Cindy) and sister Stacey were there when we first got there. It was fun to get caught up on the whole family:
We couldn’t wait to start the campfire though. It was fun to sit around, chat, watch the boys’ delight in such simplicity (hot dogs and fire), and enjoy a little bit of nature. The boys treated us to an original song:
