4th in Cali

We were home from Oregon for about five minutes when we decided it was too hot and we needed to get away again. Luckily for us Jeremy's family was going to southern California that weekend and we begged to come along.

It was a short trip. We left Friday after Jeremy got off work and came home Monday, but the time we did have was cool and relaxing. We spent most of our time at the beach. The weather was a little too cold for swimming, but I would have taken cold over the Arizona summer heat any day.

We went to four beaches in three days. We spent time at Balboa Island, Corona Del Mar, Sunset, and Huntington Beaches.

Here are some of my favorite pictures from the beach.





Leave it to boys to think that digging a big, giant hole is fun.




Isn't this picture of Merrick in Uncle Garret's sunglasses and with food all over his face the cutest thing you have ever seen?


We spent the evening of the 4th of July on Sunset Beach. We had a view of the fireworks from Long Beach and Huntington Beach. We were close enough to have a good view, but far enough that we could not hear them, which Merrick appreciated. I think we all had a great time. Even Merrick got into the 4th of July spirit.
