The Beach House

Warning....picture overload!!!

We got very spoiled last week. Todd's mom rented a beach house for a week in Newport (right on the Balboa Peninsula). The house was big and old and I LOVED it. The stairs creaked so loud we kept waking up the kids, we had enough beds for everyone, and we were 1 block from the Bay and 2 1/2 blocks from the beach. FABULOUS!


Luke got to pull the wagon of toys/towels the first day


Until he reached the sand. Then grandma had to help him


Carson, Tayson, Wyatt and Luke


Carson, Emma, Luke, Claire, Tayson, Wyatt and Todd
All the kids building the first of many sand castles with Uncle Todd


Claire running from the waves


Emma and Claire playing in grandma's bed


Wyatt got his head stuck in the stairs.
The next Tayson put his head in and out no problem - it was hilarious.


Claire and Emma playing in the wagon after some serious digging in the sand.

This was the master creation of the week. It was the hugest sand wall ever.
Some neighbor kid (Nick) helped them too.

This sounds like Heaven to me. An old house, close to the beach, family, Cali, . . . . . . yep, sounds perfect to me.
