For our summer vacation we made our rounds to see my Grandparents and other family and friends. Our first stop included a stop at my Grandpa and Grandma C. We had fun visiting, playing games and just being together. We were also able to go to the temple {which we considered our 10 year anniversary date!}. It was fun getting to spend time with them! We love grandma and grandpa!
After camping we headed back to the beach for Round 2 before heading home. Lauren headed out on the boogie board again, but this time on her very own board. She-was-so-excited!! So-excited!! This time we only lasted a few hours. The beach was busy and just a little too chaotic for us. We lasted long enough for the filthy kids to get rinsed off in the ocean and then covered in sand! When we had had enough, we headed home exhausted from a great weekend!
We love camping {and by we, I mean everyone in the family but me...I simply tolerate it}. We took our annual camping trip to the San Diego {Laguna} Mountains. The kids have so much fun and get dirtier than I thought was humanly possible. The afternoons were a little warmer than we had hoped, but the nights were beautiful! The Dads got bored and decided we needed a zip-line and the kids thought that was pretty awesome. Nothing like being filthy and one with nature!
We love the beach {and by we, I mean everyone in the family but me...I simply tolerate it}. For Memorial Weekend we headed to San Diego ready for a great day on the beach. We came prepared with sand toys, boogie boards, sunscreen and umbrellas. The kids played and played and played. Lauren absolutely LOVED boogie boarding and could have spent all day our there in the water. Kylee was in and out of the water and Bailey was having a blast playing in the sand and staying out of the water {too cold for her!}. I ended up getting a migraine, but after a nap that resulted in sunburned feet, I was back to enjoying the cool weather under an umbrella!
While in Bagdad, we took the kids on a "hike." We were in search of old mines and gold {or at least sparkly rocks}. We saw lots of pretty flowers and even a little wildlife. Plus being with cousins is always a good time. It is such a pretty area and it was nice to get out and not sweat to death!
Fair time again and I don't think the weather could have been more miserable. It was so hot, but we suffered through it for the sake of merry-go-round rides and corn dogs! Bailey slept through most of our adventure. Kylee was excited to ride some of the "bigger" rides with Lauren. Well, until she got on the big swings, then the fun and games were over. It was just screaming and tears until the ride was over! We all survived and ended the afternoon with cotton candy!
