Newport beach













It has been a couple years that we were able to go to Newport with the Crandalls. It was super fun. The entire Crandall/Harman group went. We had three units with a total of 8 bedroom and 6 bathrooms. There was 44 people in all...yikes! So we just beached it for the first few days. On the first day we saw a huge group of people swim out to where the waves first start to break and realized there were dolphins catchin some waves. so cool! Jeff spent the majority of his time digging holes for the kids. We bought some boogie boards and Karlee sure was catchin the waves. Cole was content to drag his around on the sand with him. He did get the board close to the water and then when the waves would come in he would ever so lightly move. Grady spent most of his time playing in the sand and running back and forth to the beach house and back. It was kind of a nightmare with  him because he is such a wanderer. on Sunday Tyson got lost and we had to get the beach patrol involved...it was super scary, but they told us that if we have kids that wander to write their name and a phone number on their hand. So when we decided to go to Magic Mountain that is exactly what I did. Karlee and Cole were tall enough to ride all the ride but 4 and they had a blast. I think they were a little scared on Goliath for a good reason, cause it is pretty intense. Jeff and I switched off in kiddie land with Grady and we didn't loose him. The rest of the week was filled with golfing and deep sea fishing for the boys, and shopping an pedicures for the girls. We finally had a big enough group to have a good game of volleyball and some late night Mafia which was so much fun. The week went by too fast, but was so much fun!

Oh I can't get enough!!! I wish there were 100 more pictures! I hardly even recognize Grady all grown up! I've got a wanderer on my hands as well and that is a brilliant idea. So glad you guys had fun together and all 44 got home safe... although it SHOULD have been 55... maybe next year right? Thanks for the great chat the other day- miss you!
