Newport Beach 2010

Now that summer is basically over, I thought I'd write about more of our adventures. A little bit ago we headed down to Newport Beach for a little Germany Family get-together. We also met up with my mom's side of the family, the Bell family, for a family reunion of sorts while there in Newport. It was a fun-packed week that made me wish we lived closer to my family. Abby had a blast hanging out with her cousins and getting to know them. They are all at such fun ages--there was never a dull moment! We spent a lot of time swimming and hanging out at the beach, but we also took two days to go play at Disneyland and SeaWorld. Thanks Mom and Dad for taking and treating us! Here are some hi-lights from our week.

Top 10 Favorite Memories (in no particular order):

1. Club 33 at Disneyland--My parents surprised us with tickets to the exclusive club at Disneyland. Talk about a once in a lifetime experience!
