Over July 4th weekend, we took a spur of the moment trip to California. It is extremely hot here in Las Vegas, and we wanted to get away, go to the beach, and visit Chris' sister and family who live in Los Angeles. It was a lot of fun. We love how we are so much closer to California than we were in Utah, so it makes a fun weekend getaway!
On July 4th, we went to a local parade with Chris' sister, Jen, and her family.
Then we went to the beach. Oh, how we love the beach. Oh, and you can't forget the walk there. We didn't realize how extremely busy it was on July 4th, duh?! So, we seriously had
to walk about 1 1/2 miles, and it seemed forever. That's hard when you have to carry all the stuff and all the kids for the most part.
Kylie and Peyton both loved the water. They wanted to keep going and going. Peyton kept trying to slip out of our hands when we would go deeper and try to go by himself. I held Kylie and took her farther out in the ocean and she liked that. They thought the ocean was great, although they do look a little hesitant in this picture.
Playing in the sand...
Striking poses...
Then we went to the beach, just us, the next day as well.
The kids had so much fun playing with more cousins. It is so nice to get away for a bit again.
Thanks Jen for a great time!

That looks like so much fun. I love going to the beach...what beach was it? Looks like Carlsbad? The kids look like they had a blast. Love your sunburns!
Looks like a great time! I'm glad you could escape the LV heat and get into the ocean (even though it was crowded)! You are so tiny. I can't tell you have a bump like you say you do! The pictures in Utah look so fun, too!
Anna, you seriously need to go skydiving. I have done a lot of amazing things the last couple years and nothing I have done even compares to skydiving. You would love it! So how are you? Your kids are so adorable. It looks like you are getting to do a lot there and are having a lot of fun.
What a fun trip! It looks like your kids just loved the water. In reply to your comment on my blog- we're living in southwest Washington. Take care!
That is so funny you said that about Salt Lake. I thought about that day many times as we were doing the hike. I think today is the only day in my life my legs are more sore than that day. I am horrible about writing in a journal so I decided if I post about everything we do, we can all print it out and use it as a journal. That way I will never forget all of our awesome experiences.
Wow! you get to go on a lot of vacations. I am soo jealous!!
Chris,
Nice talking to you the other day. I'm glad our wives keep a blog so we can see what's going on in our families. I didn't know Anna was an olympic marathon runner. Congrats on the upcoming child! Lets stay in touch.
