We just got home from our vacation to Newport Coast. I took almost 500 photos this week! After some debate over what to do while in southern California, we decided to take it easy and relax on the beach as much as possible. We loaded up on Tuesday afternoon, picked the boys up from school and were on our way. We met Rob's folks there on Tuesday, and Aunt Alisa joined us on Thursday night.Wednesday included: Exploring around the resort (Tosh tried to ride down a steep hill on his scooter and scraped up his chin and face pretty good as you will see in photos), going to Crystal Cove beach, and then Grandma and Grandpa Pete watched the kids so we could go to the Newport temple that evening (gorgeous!).
Tosh told us that in this last one he was yelling at the ocean, "To not make big waves!"I love that we caught Tosh yawning in this family photo. The kids were exhausted by the end of the day!
Some Frisbee action:
A picnic and more beach play on Wednesday:

Saw some dolphins swimming (looked like sharks at first!). I saw them jumping, but wasn't able to catch any photos of that...
At Laguna Beach on Friday:

It was a gorgeous day and there was a wedding taking place about 200-300 feet from us (busy wedding day, 11/11/11).It rained most of Saturday, but it didn't stop us from going to Balboa Island to explore around. We took the scooters so the kids could ride along the waterfront and we could stare in awe at the amazing homes! Wow.
We stopped for "famous" frozen bananas (yummy!). Burke shocked me by saying he preferred the chocolate dipped bananas to the ice cream bars! Late afternoon Saturday we were able to meet Rob's cousin Brian and his family and catch up with them over some hot chocolate.It was such a nice break to relax, play lots of games, get in a few good workouts (got my 10k around the corner), catch a few naps, and hang out and visit with family. We love Newport and are already figuring out when we can get back!
