The Beach

Here we are soaking up some sun at the Beach last week in Cali. I was sooo excited to go since it had been a while. There's something so relaxing about sitting on the beach, and listening to the waves, and walking along the water in the sand. Summer is my favorite!!!

Thanks, Ben, for putting up the umbrella!

Abby loved playing in the sand...

So did Ben :) We covered him up

We had a great time! (This is one way to avoid getting sun burned)



Happy Anninversary Ben and Jess! Thanks for spending some of your special day with us!!

California

We had a great time seeing Ben and Jess and our extended family in California last week. (Ben did impressively well his first year of Medical School. He got all A's, with a few A-'s, WOW!) We stayed with Grandma Lee, and visited Chuck and Elsa, and Aunt Mary while we were there. They look great, and we had a good visit with each of them.

What an amazing view of the LA skyline from their back porch .

Chuck and Elsa have a beautiful garden, and Abby was thrilled to have time to run around on the grass (which is quite the luxury when you live in Arizona).

Aunt Mary gave us Milky Way candy bars during our visit, and Abby is trying to take Ben's candy bar away from him. Funny girl!

"I wish they all could be California girls!"
