I know i just posted a bunch of pictures on facebook, but i'm going to post them on my blog too. I always do that, same thing on facebook and my blog, but this way i have a little entry that goes with it so i remember the weekend.
My parents had a work convention in Newport Beach last week, and since they were going to be just a couple hours from us, a half hour from Dan and Britt, we decided to make it a little family get-together. Jason and Francisca flew down from Idaho Friday, and Kami drove up from Arizona on Friday afternoon. Andrew and I were going to leave early Saturday morning, but we started thinking about it and wanted to spend more than half a day at the beach, so Andrew was able to get off work at 5:45 (he was shooting for 5:00, but 5:45 is good considering he was getting home after 10:00 all week) and we headed down. We got there a little after 8:00 and met up with the family at Yogurtland (delicious!). Once we got there Jason and my mom came running past me to get to Colby, and Andrew took Colby and started running the other way... so with a mixture of it being past Colby's bedtime and running away from all these people that now wanted to hold him, colby took a while to warm up to them again, but after a few minutes he was finally his adorable self again.
Saturday we headed to Laguna Beach where we were most the day. Mike and Tamara were there, and it was so great to see them again. Kyle also stopped by for a bit and it was fun to see him too. Colby absolutely loved the beach, the ocean...not so much. He didn't mind the wet sand, but when i put his feet in the ocean he cried. I don't blame him though, it was too cold for me so i couldn't expect him to enjoy it, but i wanted to try. Colby got a great tan, I got a great burn. At least i remembered to put sunscreen on him.

He loved the feel of the sand in his hands
Between his toes
And on his face We went back to the hotel and he LOVED LOVED LOVED the pool, well mostly the hot tub. He liked the pool, but started to get pretty cold. He had a blast in the hot tub though.
My little water baby

At the pier by Huntington BeachSunday we went to church with my cousin Beth, her hubby Ryan, and their cutest baby boy Colton. Colby and Colton are about 2 months apart (Colton being older) and they just loved each other. We went back to Beth and Ryans house afterwards for lunch. Colby hasn't really been around another baby, so it was fun to see how they reacted to each other, they were fascinated. It was too cute.
Cousins Colton and Colby
They love each other
Everyone together (minus mom who is taking the picture)
So fun to see you guys! Can't wait for our little guys to hang out again. Hope the drive home was good!
ReplyDeletewhat a sweet boy. :) We need to get Lucy down there to visit so she can enjoy the sun. I don't think she even knows what sun is. The beginning of her life she was under her carseat cover, and now it's always snowing or windy. She probably won't know what to do once it becomes summer. :) It looks like you guys had so much fun though!
