Beach House!

Every year we get a beach house in Newport Beach with my family. That consist of my parents, four brother and their families. We really love this vacation. My girls look forward to it every year. This year I was worried because I thought the baby would be so hard on the beach. But she really wasn't. For the most part she stayed right by us. She only wandered a few times . Here are some pictures of the girls at the beach.


The reason this picture is so bright is because Ryan said I should put it on the mode for when it is sunny. It is way too bright looking. I'm bummed because I like to get a close up of the girls and I took this picture on the last day.

This is my youngest brother Nick.

Every night, we walk to the pier and every time we go Mckenna has to get a chocolate banana with sprinkles on it. She loves theses things.


I love her belly hanging out of her swim suit. This picture was our last day on the beach. It was freezing that day. You can see my nephew with a towel wrapped around him.

Every year, we rent bikes and ride them to Balboa Island. It is really fun. It was Olivia's first time. Right after this picture was taken she fell asleep. It was during her nap time.

Another tradition we have is going to Crab Cooker on our last night. We love this place. I have been going here since I was a little girl.

I forgot to take pictures of the many nights that we played Rock Band. My sister in law brought wigs and we had so much fun rockin out. She posted them on YouTube. I had no idea she was taping them and I didn't know she would post them on youtube. Oh well! I made a fool of myself but it was totally worth it.

I love that we do this every year. We have great memories from the 9 years that we have been going and I look forward to the many more memories that we will have.
