Newport Beach 2016

Guess what??? We have a another Beach Baby!  Dexton loved our trip and especially loved the sand.

Kyson and I snuck away for little treat.....Bonsai Bowl delivered again!

 Oops.  I have to say, Dexton was the first one awake every morning.  He'd wake up around 6-6:30. I bundled him up and took him out to the beach so we wouldn't wake anyone else.  There is something magical at the beach in the early morning.  Everything is quiet and not many people around. I loved it.

This happened to be what occurred after we got back from our early morning walk. He made a mess.

The fam decided it would be great to take the youth to do baptisms at the Newport Beach Temple.  It was a great decision.

We have large group in our family now.  This is just a small part of them!

It took some getting used to, but Dexton managed to enjoy the waves after getting over being a little bit scared about it.

These two are professional wave jumpers!

And so it Kyson.

And imagine our surprise when Uncle Philip showed up! He just happened to be in Newport for a business meeting.  What are the odds?

And what are the odds that we would be twinning?? I feel like maybe he's a bit jealous of the "real twins"....

He was only there for a few hours but we sure made the most of it!  And then he managed to come by the following afternoon for a bit.  It sure was fun!

  Late night bow and arrows.

Lovin' life as a beach baby.

And the other exciting news is....we got beach cruisers! I love mine and I envision getting loads of use out of it.  Next on the agenda - getting a baby seat for the back.

Here we are on the boardwalk riding our new bikes.

Trying to make shadow figures on the beach.

Getting brave and then running for their lives!

 We love Newport.  See you next year!
