Heading home from California

On our way home from California we stopped in St.George to stretch our legs out. We got to St. George at 10:00 A.M. so we had the whole day to take our time getting home. We had Trevor's phone navigate us to the nearest park and his phone took us to pioneer park. Pioneer park was way better than your average play ground park. It was a cool place to go hiking and climbing. There was a lot of hole and caves that the boys loved to go in. We spent over three hours there having fun exploring. Grandma and Grandpa met up with us there and it was fun to have them join us on our fun adventure. 

More California

Thursday we spent the day at Balboa Island, it was a 10 minute drive from where we were staying. When we got there we bought the boys and ice cream and walked to and got on the fairy that took us to the far side of Balboa Island where the beach was. When we got off the fairy there was a few rides that we took the kids on. I got to ride the Ferris wheel with the boys. The view was beautiful. The beach on Balboa Island was a pretty cool place that had a play ground for the kids to play on right there on the beach. It was good beach for finding sea shells. There was sea shells every where! Karson and I had fun collecting shells while Kellen and Korbin played in the water and Dad and Klayton had fun playing in the sand. We then walked out on the peninsula and had dinner at a restaurant out there. While we were waiting for our food we had fun watching the sea lions steal the bait from the people fishing off the peninsula. It was a beautiful evening and it was so neat to watch the sun set from the beach.  

Our last day in California was a chill laid back day. We spent the whole day at the resort swimming at the pool and playing at the park area with cousins. We had a barbecue that night with everyone and enjoyed watching the sunset. It was a perfect way to end an amazing vacation. We are counting down the days until we can go back again. I love making memories with my family. 

Laguna Beach and Medieval Times

Wednesday morning we went to Laguna Beach with the whole gang. I think Laguna Beach is my favorite beach out of the beaches we went too. I don't know if it is, because it is a good beach for swimming and for some reason I have it in my head it's prettier than other beaches. Even though I thought all the beaches we went to were pretty.....anyways I obviously don't have a good reason for it being my favorite, it just is...... we had a lot of fun playing in the water and the kids had fun building a awesome sand castle with sea shells all over it. Korbin and Emma made a "cake" that they were pretty proud of. I was sporting some awesome tan lines that I had gotten from the day before at Sea World. Klayton turned into a wet sand monster by the time we left the beach. We had to put him in the showers they have available at the beach, because he had so much sand caked on him....needless to  say he wasn't a fan of the shower.....We than went back to the resort and went swimming at the pool for a few hours until it was time to head out to Medieval Times. Trevor and I love going to Medieval Times with our boys. It is all so real to them and they are memorized by the horses, knights, and sword fights. We had the blue night this time and the boys cheered for their knight as loud as they could. The boys were pretty bummed when our knight died before the end. We stayed after the show so the boys could meet and get a picture with there knight.
