MUD!

The kids had so much fun playing in the mud! August has brought us an unusual amount of rain and we have loved every minute of it. While the kids played I snapped a few pictures and i loved to see the smiles on their faces.

A day at the lake

Another exciting adventure to add to our summer memories; a day at Silverwood Lake.  The kids loved playing in the water and found it much less intimidating than the ocean waves.  With the heat we have been having this summer I could use another day in the water!

Day at the Beach

On day two of our mini vacation we headed to Newport and spent the day soaking up some sun.  I don't have a ton of pictures from this day, but one thing that sticks out in my mind was the HUGE amount of sand that Jack had covered himself in!  It was insane.  The sunblock was like glue and it stuck everywhere!

Sea World

After our Fourth of July festivities, we headed down to San Diego for a short family vacation. On Thursday we spent the day at Sea World. It was a beautiful day and the kids were in awe with all of the animals! Sea World has a super fun kid area that Ella and Jack loved; with rides, climbing areas, and water play. Looking forward to our next family vacay!

4th of July 2012

4th of July was so much fun this year!  We started the day with a 4th of July parade and brunch with great friends, afternoon swimming and BBQ with family, and a night of amazing fire works.  4th of July has become one of my favorite holidays and this was definitely a holiday to remember!

Cousins

This picture makes me smile! I hope they have as much fun growing up together as I did with my cousins. They play together so well and truly enjoy each others company.
