Newport Beach with Beckstrands!




Just thought I'd do a little summer catching up here, and blog about our fun trip to the beach with my extended family this July. Wow, did we ever have a good time. The kids were in absolute heaven with cousins to play with every moment. The boys loved the Razors (scooters) that cousins brought with them and rode them whenever they could. Everett woke up every morning asking for Aunt Ann-Marie (man-ma-me) to take him to the donut store. He woke up and ran in her room and announced to her, while she was still in bed, that he woke up! Sort of like, "Let's go Man-Ma-Me!" Once I told him that I would take him to the donut store and he told me that he didn't want to go with Man-Ma-You, he wanted to go with Man-Ma-Me!!! Funny. Cooper, as always, loved to lay around on the sand. Didn't ever care if there was sand all over the place at all. Scotti's favorite thing was playing football, baseball, soccer, etc. endlessly on the beach. So many sports, so many athletes. So thrilling to Scotti! Sammi loved her big girl cousins. They were the best because they payed her all the attention she could ever want. She also loved the waves.

We also went to Disneyland for the first time. Here is a picture of Grant and the kids on the train there. Our kids loved it. It was especially fun because we did it with the Beckstrands who we just absolutely love to pieces. We never could have survived Disneyland without them, honestly. We all had a great time. Grant loved the time with the kids, and I loved the time with all my brothers and sisters. Such a great family!
