CA - Part 1

We are forever thankful for my mom using inheritance money for a "family reunion" trip to CA.  She flew the 5 of us out to visit Kris and Wendy and we had the best time.  We were blessed with beautiful weather, we made very comfortable in Kris and Wendy's home, enjoyed lots of great food and just a a really nice visit. 

Off we go!  (Kids did great on all the plane rides!)


Kris and Wendy's townhouse and complex is beautiful.  And so was the weather so any chance we got, we headed outside.  The fountain was a favorite place to walk to!


While we were there, Nate celebrated a birthday with home made ice cream cake, yum!

Did a little shopping:)

We enjoyed the local playgrounds and being outside, especially seeing GRASS, which we hadn't seen much of in months!



Enjoyed a trip to the cute town of Solvang too.


 We took a few trips to the beach.  It was nice to see a beautiful sunset, something we don't see often on the east coast.  We took a picnic dinner and bundled up.  The kids liked the rocky beach cause they got to throw the rocks into the ocean:).









Our family also visited a different beach another morning when it was a little warmer.  Max was brave enough to splash in the freezing water a little but it was rough so it made me nervous for him to get close.  The air was warm that day though and they enjoyed playing in the sand.
