California Trip

Last week we went to California to enjoy some cooler weather and nice sunny beaches. It was so much fun and we all had a really hard time coming back.

First, we went to stay with Tom's brother Todd and his family. Katie and Kellen had so much fun with cousins! We also got to meet to our newest little cousin, Graham. What a cute little man!

All of the cousins in the backyard. They were playing outside until the minute we left. Katie and Kellen aren't used to playing outside during the summer.




We went to Shakey's Pizza and loved it!!




Katie age 5 and Emma age 8. Katie has a ways to go before she catches upto Emma in the height department :)




No trip would be complete without stopping by Tommy's Burger. According to Tom, you cannot beat the chili ontop a hamburger. I still think Tommy's is an acquired taste.





On the way up to Agoara Hills we drove past Tom's old house. Tom was a little disappointed in the way the current owners are maintaining it.



After visiting Tom's brother we went to stay with Tom's Aunt Bonnie. She is so much fun! We also got to hang out with Tom's cousins. We had so much fun!!!!!
It was so cold at the beach that day. Katie and Kellen snuggled with together under towels.





Katie and Tom went to go check out the temperature of the water. The lifeguard said it was about 59 degrees. Cold!




Little Katie.




On the 4th of July, Tom went surfing with his cousin. He had not surfed in a while so he was a little rusty, but he a great time!






Here is Tom sitting on his board waiting to catch a wave.




I tried to write Katie and Kellen's names in the sand. It worked with Kellen's name and Katie's turned out a little funky. What can you do?!





Here we are in the beach. At this point, our legs were numb to the cold water. It was so much fun!!
