The Fish Tank

We had a wonderful 4th of July! The day started with some time in the sand and ocean. Jackson just couldn't stay away. We went back to the house for lunch and naptime. Scott and I enjoyed some quiet time on the porch people watching (which is so much fun on the 4th at Newport). We BBQ'ed and ended the night watching fireworks on the sand as a family. It was a beautiful day and fantastic night spent as a family! My Dad Rocks!!! He sure does! Chowin' down on a Bal Bar...yummo!!! Absolutely breathtaking! I love you, babe! Chasing bubbles...he made a new friend! Cheese! Ah! Toes in the sand and ocean...one of the best feelings!!! Sommersaults in the sand... Mommy's kid...people watching Mommy and Jack doing some more people watching:) Husband and wife enjoying some much needed quiet time on the patio while Jack napped (yes, we are people watching) Newport Beach's finest... Oh no, wait, here they are... The beach crowd Waiting for waves Digging with daddy Hmmm....what is...

We had a great time at Disneyland!!! Jackson was so excited to go to Mickey's house!!! He did fantastic! We lasted until fireworks! And, it wasn't that crowded. We had a great day with my sister, her kids, and Brandi. Scott got to go on all the "big" rides with the boys and Jackson got to go on all the smaller rides, as well as, Haunted Mansion, Pirates, and the Jungle Cruise. We had so much fun especially watching the kids enjoy the day! Gotta have a pic of the fam with Mickey!

Can I just say that we are LOVING being by the beach. We are about 5 houses from the sand and it is WONDERFUL!!! Jackson is obsessed with the sand and ocean asking us to go in the water at 6am! The weather couldn't be better! We don't want to leave our little beach shack! At least we have two more days to enjoy this paradise! Big hugs!!! Jack LOVES his cousins!!! The cousins enjoying the sand and water. Jackson and "his" Jacob letting the waves crash over them. Jackson idolizes his cousin, Jake. It is the sweetest thing!!! Jake is SO beyond good with him!
