Our California Summer Trip!

Rick and I went out to California for the past ten days. We just got back on the 8th. We had a great time with family and friends in Rancho Cucamonga and other places!! Here were some of the highlights!

Highlight 1

We went out to Santa Clarita to visit with some old college friends and have lunch at the Route 66 Grill: Aaron, Jen, and Brian in this one!

Me, Rick, Aaron, Jen, and Sarah... It was so fun seeing my friends! Jen, Sarah and I were roommates. Aaron was our FHE brother and now is married to Jen. Loved seeing them.
Me with the two roomies. I lived with Jen longer in college than anyone else! (I think about 6 semesters in a row or so!) and Sarah was only my roommate one semester, but she is still one of my bffs!

Highlight 2

We went to the beach with my family. It's been about a year since I've been to the beach and we had such a great time.

My adorable nephew Ollie fell asleep while Grandma was holding him.
My nephew Casey running around. He absolutely LOVED the water and insisted that we always go down to it!

Bethany and her adorable little boys. We went to the beach for her birthday and it looks like she enjoyed it!
Grandpa holding Ollie. We call Ollie the Michelin Man because of all of his rolls!

Poor Rick! He's still freezing from his boogie boarding. He's not used to the cold Pacific ocean like my family is. The water was 55 degrees that day! Awesome!
Casey having a grand old time running around! He loved the beach!


Rick and I on the beach! We loved going to the beach with family. It was a fun trip! Not so much of a fun trip home! It took about 2 hours to get from Corona del Mar beach over to Rancho. I am so glad that my mom was driving, and it wasn't me! California drivers in rush hour= scary... especially on the 57 freeway.

We spent most of our time in California hanging out with family, watching "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", and just having a great time hanging out. I also had a great time seeing Kajsa and Kersti Spjut (forgot to take pictures) and Nicole! Rick and I loved seeing family, especially spending time with my nephews, who I probably won't see again until I have my own little baby! Yikes!
