Beach again...

I haven't had time to post our last trip to the beach. We decided to take one last trip to the beach before Ashley left for college. We went down to The Anderson's (john's sister) on the 22nd and spent the night again. We love hanging with Edie and Luke and the kids! We played the traditional game of Phase 10 and ate lots of candy! (They are talking about moving to Wyoming... we are very sad!!) We got up early Saturday morning and drove an hour to Huntington Beach. It was raining when we left Hisperia... so we were a little worried... but it turned out ok. It wasn't blue sky all day, but it appeared a few times. Being that I am from the Pacific Northwest, I am used to a cloudy day at the beach... at least it wasn't cold and no one got sunburned this time.

What made the beach extra fun was that we were able to spend the day with lots of my family. My brother David was in the area on a business trip, so he joined us for the day. He has a new friend that happens to be a girl named Rebekah and she was there visiting him from Utah. So, we loved getting to know her better! My brother Todd and his family were vacationing down in Del Mar, so they drove up for the day and since we were all going to be there, Scott and Jenn came down from Vegas too. Fun times!

Brad and I were the same weekend...same idea. One last trip to the ocean, but we left the boys home. You might have seen us riding by on bikes:) We rode all over that day. Don't you just love the beach? It is so calming and relaxing.
