California fun

We started our California adventure by driving to meghan & mark's house. We had so much fun with them! It was wonderful to see my sweet niece, Reese! She is so stinkin' cute, smart, and she is SO good! It's always nice to see The Mac's and live in there life for a few days. Meg is due in a few weeks and she looks so good! Can't wait for baby #2 to be here! Jared and I then drove down to my aunt & uncle McBeth's in Escondido to spend time and go to Disneyland. Well, J & I were both a little surprised by D-land. We both have not been in so long we had forgot what it was really like. Lets just say the thrill was not there for these two thrill seekers. We also were expecting to see all the characters roaming the park. Not ONE! None the less we had fun and next time we won't go until we have kids.

All the Halloween decorations and flowers were fun though!

Tarzan's tree house was fun to run (and jump) through!

Then we spent a whole day at the beach with the Rindi's, that was fun! I'm so glad they came out and we were able to do a few things together! Everything is more fun with friends! J & Mike went out into the ocean and boogie-boarded for hours while the girls hung out on the beach and played in the sand and waded in the water. It was lots lots of fun and we worked up an appetite! Hence, we went to Pat & Oscars Italian restaurant, which was pretty delish!

Jared being a seaweed monster. Brynlee was a little scared of him and then thought it was pretty funny. Jared ended up finding tons of baby starfish in the seaweed and tried to save them by putting them in our dug-out swimming pool! Baby girl pretty beat and mellow after being at Del Mar beach all day long!

It was a fun trip and I can't wait to head out again! Thanks to Meghan and Mark and Kent and Karen for being our gracious hosts and taking good care of us!
