Laguna Beach, CA

Well we're back. Tyler's back at school. I'm back at work. We are even cooking dinner every night again. Back to the normal life. Summer's leaving us - we can tell. We were cold last night for the first time in months. :( But luckily I still had a nice sun-basking session on the grass during lunch today. So she's not leaving us entirely yet.

We did try to make the most of this glorious season, however, with lots of sand, sun, water, food & family! Here comes the report. First stop: Laguna Beach.

HOLLA!


Oh Beachy Beach, I love you, love you, love you!



Tyler's Mom (Kim), Us & Caitlin
They are all so great to me and I really love them. It's always fun to get together.



Dear Pooly Pool I love you almost as much. You are beautiful.
(Flippy Flops, I really like you too.)




Tyler and his cousins continued their tradition to hunt the golf course for abandoned balls in the brief window of opportunity between dusk and dark. He took me along this time. He found that many. I found zero. :) The group harvest tallied in at over 200!


Tyler's cousins Kevin & Derek both were married in the last year to Kristina and Christie, respectively. While we were lucky enough to attend both of their weddings, this week together was our real chance to all get to know each other. I can't tell you how fun it was! They are all super great and we just had tons of fun.


With a few of the cousins. Love families of boys.


Can you just feel his longing and love for the ocean here???
Here's he's waiting to hand this board back to its owner who had just crashed and lost it.
(No, Tyler doesn't have a pink board.)
Can words express as well as this picture the absolute boyish cuteness that is my husband?!??



Thanks to everyone who made Laguna an amazing success AGAIN (ie mostly Grandma & Grandpa Mackay). We had an absolutely fabulous time!

  2. Wow. You are gorgeous and tan. The beautiful, elegant kind of tan, which makes me super jealous. We seriously need to have a get-together once the Blewitts and Christensens are out here! I can't wait to see you guys!

  3. Seems like it was a very adventurous summer! Your suit is cute. Oh, and I have a thank you note all ready to mail to you, but in the mean time, THANKS for the FABULOUS blanket. Anne is sleeping in it's cozy layers right now. And it's majorly cute.

  4. Did you go to all of these places in one trip? If that's the case, no wonder you're so tan. That's my kind of trip. Glad to have you back though. I keep seeing all of these vacations to CA and it looks so fun, pretty jealous.
