SUMMER TIME AND THE LIVING IS EASY

Once again it has been quite a while since we posted anything new. The soccer and wrestling seasons and school year have come to an end. The garden is planted and growing well. The chickens are in their coop and growing fast (looking forward to fresh eggs in a few months). We are welcoming the slower pace of the summer (especially since none of the boys are participating in summer soccer tournaments)! We didn't waste anytime getting started on enjoying the summer. As soon as school let out we headed out of town for almost 2 weeks. First stop: Las Vegas for a night on the way to SUNNY Southern California. Grandpa Doug and Grandma Rayla joined us on the drive while Josh, Jen, Liam & Amber flew out to meet us in Oceanside. We had a great time!
First up was sea kayaking in La Jolla
(Shon, Josh, Jen and Liam stayed back at the condo since Liam wasn't old enough to join the expedition)










As we set off on our two hour tour, our two hour tour (oops sorry flash backs to Gilliagans Island) the skys were a bit overcast but the sea was calm













The sites were awesome!



























We spent the next couple of days at Sea World


















































Spent some time at the beach





















Went to the San Diego Zoo
Where Kegan practiced his photography skills with great success










































Then it was off to Legoland
























Then Josh Jen, Liam and Amber headed home while we headed back to the beach!!
Finally we headed for home by way of a short stay in St George so the boys could wrestle in the Utah Summer Games where they claimed a few metals and met some new friends.

We finally arrived home to find a mushroom farm in our lawn from all the rain we missed while we were gone.
