California Fourth of July!

We went with Josh and Kate to California this weekend for a quick Fourth of July getaway! Sooo much fun!

I like this picture because we all look pretty mischievous and cuz Elliot is wearing that shirt! It would be a good picture for our Christmas card.

Here's our happy group chill'in at the pier.

Beach Day! Whoop! Whoop!

Lindsey was the first one in the ocean! Unfortunately, it was because she ran into it, got scared and fell down. She didn't "get in" again!

She still loves the beach though.

Especially playing in the warm, sticky sand.


The beach is a great place to wrap up in a Disney princess towel, kick back in your pink chair and contemplate the meaning of being 2 years old.

The adults had fun at the beach too. Katie was buried but always had a smile on her face, even after Elliot accidentally threw sand in it.

The boys climbed weird things...per usual.

Our handsome hubbies!
The best part of the trip was the four and a half man bike ride! We rode this bike contraption on the coast, the pier, off road, up and down ramps and over fountains. The only time I thought it might not have been the best idea was when Katie was driving, we were riding down a steep hill and she took her hands off the wheel and yelled, "I don't want to do this anymore!" Oh Katie!

The girls were not aboard for this ride.

We also discovered that Lindsey is a natural in the saddle and can yell, "ye-haw" very loudly.

It was so cute! She was all smiles the whole pony ride!

We stayed out too late and had too much fun...poor tired little Linds. Josh and Katie were troopers when it came to all the tired two year old whining!

We got back into Phoenix the night of the fourth and we managed to catch some fireworks with the dogs.

Lindsey lasted about two minutes and then she was done. We managed to get this squirmy fireworks picture before we had to head back to the car! Oh well, may be next year she'll make it to the finale.
