Beach!

We were lucky enough to join the Schlauder Family at Del Mar Beach Club in California!  We had such a wonderful time!  We have decided that the ocean is healing... we really needed some time to breath and get away from all the struggles...  Thanks so much Linda and Allyn for letting us spend time with your family in such a beautiful place!



Cousin time!

Boogie Boarding...



Ethan and Levi loved playing ball!



Noah and Aunt Linda...

All 18 of us went to a San Diego Padres Baseball Game!  Not a great game, but lots of fun because of the great company!  We ate at Hodad's in the park...great burgers and amazing onion rings!
My favorite memory of the night... Caleb was being a trooper walking all around the park to get to our seats, but our sweet Jennie saw he was struggling and she bent down and said "Hey Caleb, climb on.." and she carried him all the rest of the way!  She is such an example to me of love and caring!  Love you Jen!!!


James and I took Jackson and Ethan to the aircraft carrier USS Midway... they had a blast!  EJ loves anything to do with planes...so this was a must see!~







 The boys favorite part was the flight simulator!


 UPSIDE DOWN!!


Uncle James and Caleb...


And he was great at building sandcastles with all the kids!


 We went to seal beach...


And then out for frozen treats!!
 Aunt Lisa with Caleb and Olivia and Miss Kate...

Amy and Ethan on a breakfast date!

James and I spent an afternoon at the Mormon Battalion Visitor Center...so awesome... we found that we have two ancestors that were in the Battalion! 

We then had a wonderful authentic Mexican dinner in Old Town San Diego!
Our last night...saying goodbye to the beach and a beautiful sunset!


Such a wonderful and much needed vacation!
