Over the 13th to the 20th Dave and I went to Cali with his family, Grandparents and Staples cousins. It was so much fun! Thanks for taking us with you!!

We stopped in Vegas the first night and walked around there.
Monday we went to Six Flags. The weather was perfect. It was slightly overcast but not rainy, so it never got too hot. The rides here are so exciting, everyone had a great time.

Tuesday we visited the happiest place on earth, Disney Land! :) We had a blast; Brenda is great at getting fast passes so we were able to get on all the best rides without waiting in huge lines. I was another perfect park weather day too!

Then we headed down to Laguna Beach we stayed there a couple days.

The waves were perfect for boogie boarding. They were big, fairly close to shore and they broke continuously.

Dave was out there a lot!! The wet suits were definitely needed though. The water felt so cold to get into.

The weather was great though! We got a lot of sun. The only drawback to boogie boarding was the seaweed that was everywhere. After a few tumbles under the waves my hair was plastered with plants! It looked really funny. :)

We also played a ton of volley ball, which I am not very good at. Everyone knows this that sees me play! LOL. But I did get a lot better by the end. I believe I wasn't even embarrassing myself anymore. Ok that is pushing it. Probably every 4th time I TRIED to hit the ball I still embarrassed myself. But that was a huge improvement! Ha-ha.
On Friday we stayed in the Newport Beach area. We went to Huntington Beach that afternoon and Dave boogie boarded while Russ and I tried to swim out to the waves… which we could never fully accomplish.

After the beach we hung out in the hot tub. Fashion Island mall was right across the street from our hotel so Jen and I went shopping that night.
