Trip to SoCal with Lincoln!!

We're on our way!  Sacramento to Orange County!  Lincoln's first airplane ride...

 
Southwest Airlines.  Just before take off and coming into LA with all the lights
 

We spent 3 days at Ladera Ranch with Jordan, Kristine, Owen and Ames.  What a beautiful place to live!   Owen couldn't get enough of Lincoln.  It's so cute how the little cousins love the big cousins so much.



We had so much fun at the beach.  It's been a long time since I've done that.  It was great watching the boys play in the sand and play tag with the waves.  I love the BEACH!


We spent the evening at Balboa Pier in Newport Beach.  Such a fun beach town!  We all loved it.


After spending 3 days in Orange County we met up in Irvine with Iain and Shauna.  I shopped in Shauna's closet and had a typical LA treat, an Acai bowl.  We spend some time at a great little mall for lunch.  No celebrity sitings!

We enjoyed the Visitor Center at the LA temple in Santa Monica.  Lincoln played a little game with the missionaries where they predicted he would serve his mission in New Zealand!  He was good with that. 


We went to the famous Grove shopping mall.  It was packed but fun to walk around and people watch.  Just before we headed to LAX, Shauna took us around Beverly Hills and showed us a few celebrity homes. 


We had such a great time.  Even though Lincoln got a little homesick, I think he enjoyed the adventure.  I am already to go back.  Can't wait to go to Disneyland!!!

Took the boys to I-Hop to celebrate the last day of school and first day of summer vacation!


Had a fun day with my friend Pam, shopping, going to lunch and having a pedicure!

This is my walking route everyday.  Even though we are having a drought in CA there are still some beautiful areas to enjoy that are still green and lush


This is one busy little boy!  Loves climbing and making a mess!

Had a fun week watching the Patrick boys while Megan was at girl's camp!

It's been so hot lately so we've been spending lots of time at the pool.
