San Diego

We went to visit my brother who lives in San Diego. It was awesome! He lives pretty much right on the beach in La Jolla. Our kids had so much fun just playing in the waves and they absolutely love their super fun Uncle Joseph!



Madeline loved the water too, but she loved drinking this diet Squirt even more! She loves to copy mom:)


We attended Joseph's singles ward and it was great.

Just a few of the many cousins...

Our kids had so much fun playing with all of their cousins in California. Including first and second cousins, they have over 100 on Mike's side. It's crazy!

We took up practically the whole Cold Stone...

Some of the kids' cousins apparently couldn't get enough of the heat here, so they came back two weeks later! Anyone who has visited us during the summer knows that there are only two things you do during this season here. You swim and you eat ice cream. This is one of the times we ate ice cream. We had 5 cousins with us too.

We went to California...

for Mike's family reunion... One of Mike's cousin's brought their five kittens to give away.



Cameron and Madeline both wanted to take home a kitten, but the thought of having something else to be responsible for just sounded a little exhausting to me.

I got some cute pictures of them anyway.
