So a few weeks ago My dads side of the family went to California for a "family reunion". We were going to fly there, but when the tickets were On sale my mom told my dad to wait to but the next day they weren't on sale any more so we drove to Vegas and
stayed the night and then we drove to my aunt and Uncles house in Rancho Cucamonga, California and stayed there for a night. then we left the next afternoon and got there at 3:00. It was soooo fun to see all my cousins\family who live in Utah! We spent most of the time out side, but twice we went to a public beach that was down by the peer, because our beach was a little rocky, but the beach by the peer was really sandy, and shallow no matter how far you went out, it was great for boogie boarding, which by the way was SUPER fun! We went there once to check it out and we spent like an hour just boogie boarding, then the next day we spent the whole day there, and Gracie (my cousin) tried surfing, and she was really good! I was going to try surfing, but I chickened out, so I just rocked the boogie board :). Then we
drove home and found out that Fall had come while we were in Cali. haha we kinda freaked out ;)
The beach on our doorstep :)

And this was our amazing beach house :) We slept up on the roof one night then we slept on that deck on the second floor, then we just slept inside on the family room floor with all the cousins.
Our beach was kinda rocky, but at around 12-3 it was pretty sandy :)
This is Gabi My awesome cousin!
So one night my Nana gathered all the cousins and we made duct tape creations! As you can see Oliver, and Will made duct tape cell phones. Most of the girls made flower pens, and we tried to make wallets, but it didn't work to well. And then the next day All the girls did manicures, and pedicures, it was so fun we had glow in the dark nail polish, nail polish that changed color in the sun, and crackle nail polish, the crackle nail polish was my favorite. I used black crackle over white on my fingers and on my toes.
What is it with kids digging holes on the beach? :)
My lovely cousin Olivia, or aka Vivi (Gabi's little sister)
My cousin Ezra dug a hug hole that was deeper than I was tall!
haha we would have contests who could jump over the hole, or hole could make the quietest jump, or could jump the funniest.
