Newport 2014

Cash's face pretty much sums up the excitement in the car! 

We made lots of stops along the way and found this little petting zoo at a gas station.  A zebra and a camel!  So cool!

 On Sunday we went to the local ward and then took some pics by the temple.

 We checked out the tide pools in Laguna and found tons of crabs.  It's always more fun with cousins around too. 

 I love watching Nate play with the kids in the ocean.  This was the day we also saw sharks in the water.  They were just little ones but still.  Kind of cool!

Newport

Love this place!  We had such a relaxing vacation in Newport this time.  Just Pool and Beach the whole time!  Loved it!  (didn't love the drive home, or the drive there if I'm honest though!)  I have been practicing shooting in manual mode only, luckily I have kids for my guinea pigs! 

Liv could play at the beach all day and be happy about it!  Natalie... not so much.  She hates the sand that tends to get stuck in every nook and cranny! 

We went to eat at a yummy place for dinner called The Great Maple.

and then we went to La Creperie.  Liv loved it! 

The Beach with Cousins

 Ryan and Whitney's Family came down to stay with us on the coast for a couple of nights.  We loved having cousins around to play with!
Nate tried Paddle Boarding and was great at it!  He asked some guy on the beach if he could use his board and the guy let him take it out.

 Olivia was so happy to be back on the beach.  

 Cute Juliette loved it too!

 The kids catching sand crabs.  

 Liv kept getting the buckets with the crabs and getting in trouble from the boys!

 Daddy took Liv out in the water and she couldn't stop laughing.  She loved playing way out while "daddy hold me tight!"
