My side of the family took a week long vacation to Capistrano Beach. My parents were so kind in renting a beach house for the week for the family. It was a full house with our family, Andy, Jamie, Sammy, and Reese, and Kim, and Cooper, and of course Mom and Dad. We had such a fun, relaxing vacation, it was hard to get back to the normal everyday routine today.
Grandpa, Cooper, and Wyatt playing out on the patio.
Both Sammy and Wyatt trying to race each other up the steps.
Andy did some daily boogie boarding, he got pretty banged up a few times by the rocky beach.
Nana hanging out with Wyatt and Reese. All the kids were jealous when Nana was holding someone else. Wyatt would take matters into his own hands and just squeeze his way up on to her lap.
Sammy and Reese.
Who could ask for more...a beautiful sunset and dump trucks on the beach.
Wyatt loved baby Reese, he constantly wanted to hold her when she was around. He was so gentle and cute with her.
The kids had daily tea parties on the beach.
We visited the beautiful mission in San Juan Capistrano. The mission is known for the swallows that come and nest there, I looked and looked, and finally saw one nest.
The crew hanging out on the mission grounds.
We took a day trip to Disneyland. Cooper loved the chipmunks. What you can't see in this photo is Wyatt and me running away. We were stationed on the right side of the character for a family photo op until Wyatt snapped and started beating the crap out of the poor chipmunk. He is a fighter when he's scared. So I high tailed it out of there with him and Cooper enjoyed the chipmunk all to himself.
Wyatt and Daddy pulling the sword from the stone. Our next king is...
Wyatt loved getting into every car around Disneyland. Here we are outside of Mr. Toads.
Best picture of the day. I think Grandpa will sleep well tonight.
It's a Small World!
The Jolly family hanging out in Toon Town.
One day we went to this awesome playground up the hill from the beach. What a view!
Wyatt taking a beach break.
While the kids napped, Kim and I built a sand castle.
"Horse" back riding in downtown San Juan Capistrano.
Nana taking the kids on towel rides.
Sammy and Wyatt finally take a Yo Gabba Gabba break.
The nightly fires were awesome, especially the smores.
Getting a little too close for comfort on the San Clemente pier.
Ya Daddy, I love riding on your shoulders!
Everyone made it to the pier for a walk and picture.
On our last night at the house, Kevin and I went back to Disneyland at night by ourselves. We had a great time on a few rides and enjoying the fireworks.
Thanks Mom and Dad for a wonderful vacation!
