Who can resist this face??!!!!
Just a little bit ago we took the kids to the beach in California! We left Saturday morning, stopped off in Barstow and shopped a little, and then headed for the Newport Beach area.
After being there all day it was time to head home. We were all sad to leave, but glad we could go. We had a great time and it is nice being only 4 hours away from a beach!
We checked into our hotel and then went to heaven...Sprinkles Cupcakes. It is so delicious and worth the wait in line. It's not the same eating a shared cupcake with kids dangling on your arm, but still nice and sweet. I did, however, enjoy a whole raspberry cupcake to myself inside the hotel bathroom later that day when the kids fell asleep. :)
We then went to Corona Del Mar Beach. It was a nice beach that was surrounded by cliffs. It had small waves for the kids, which they loved. The only thing bad about it was there were people everywhere! People on your left, right, top, and bottom! It was so crowded. Porter quickly made friends with everybody!

The kids also liked getting buried in the sand.
The kids had fun at the hotel. We played in the indoor pool at night and also the hot tub. Then off to bed. The kids loved having pop tarts, applesauce and capri suns for breakfast (usually it's fruit and cereal or oatmeal or something like that...but we're on vacation!) :) Luckily the pool opened up early and we were off to the indoor pool again. The kids loved showing off to Chris all they learned from swimming lessons during the summer.
Then we went to Huntington Beach that day. Actually it was really cold. Not just cold because we are from Las Vegas (and anybody who knows me knows I'm always cold), but other people were wearing sweatshirts. Not us...just our swimsuits. Didn't even think of that. But we still had fun. (I liked being wrapped up in the towels). Then the sun eventually came out, thankfully. The kids enjoyed digging a huge sand hole, building sand stairs, playing ball, jumping waves, finding a trillion seashells, and more.

Huntington Beach was one of our favorites (as well as Coronado in SD) to take a 'vacation'. Bummer that it was cold that day. Sure looks like you guys had fun though! :)
Glad you guys gad such a fun trip. Your kids are adorable!
I wish we lived four hours from the beach! What a great vacation. Your kids are getting so big. I love their big blue eyes! Love you Banana!
Fun, fun! I would love to live four hours from the beach! (Well, actually, we do...but the beach in Washington is not really swimmable or remotely warm...) Your kids are really growing up--especially that Porter. What ADORABLE little kids! Glad you could get away for some family memories! I miss you, Bananers! It's been WAY too long since we've seen each other. Oh, and thanks for the b-day wishes!
