What a great summer!!!!!

Megan and Alex have made it home from California. They had a wonderful 6 week vacation that was filled with a ton of fun stuff. There are so many pictures that I could have posted them forever so I had to just pick a few from everything. Be prepared. It's going to be long.
Megan left on June 23rd with Bonnie and Kate and met up with my Dad at Stefanie's house. They headed off for a week in Solvang from there.
My Dad and Bonnie.
Bonnie, Megan, Kate and Grandpa. I think they were at a castle.
Alex and I headed to Disneyland to start off his vacation. We left on June 29th and spent a couple of days at Disneyland and the Hollywood walk of fame.
Alex picked the stars walk and we spent a few hours checking out all of the names on the stars. It was really a lot of fun.
We all met back at Stefanie's and then the real fun started for the kids. I had to head back home, Bonnie and Kate had to come home and my Dad went back to his house. It left Stefanie with a house full of kids!!!!!!!
They went to Balboa Park. Look at how cute they are. :)

They found a cool tree for everyone to climb.



The back of everyone as they go over the bridge.

Rena found a cool spinning ride.

Alex was having a great time.

Cameron in the sunshine.

Alex and Stefanie.

Maleah is so darn cute.

They spent a very full day at Legoland.

I was told there were cool lego things everywhere.


The girls with Darth Vader. Megan had to tell me who it was. :)

The boys with the same guy.

They had some fun rides.

Stefanie and Maleah riding an airplane.

Maleah loves rides and Rena isn't to fond of them so here is everyone minus Rena.

They went to the water park side after they were done with the rides. Megan was in charge of watching the stuff.

Water teeter totter.

They seemed to like this one from what I am told but you will notice Rena is still missing. She is laying out getting a great tan!!!!!

Jeff decided to help the kids make a 2 liter bottle rocket. I guess it worked because they all had a good time with it.

Crazy boys!!!!!

They painted the girls bedroom. No more stripes. Pretty pastel green now. Megan loves to paint. They also painted Cameron's room but I don't have any pictures of that one. :)

Rena and Maleah even got to do some of the work.

Another day was spent at the zoo. They had a great time here as well.

They found all sorts of funny animal things.

Cameron is popping out of the fake water.

Maleah and some giraffes.

Lunch break!!!!!!

They spent a lot of time outside playing in the cul-de-sac at Stefanies. They also got to roast a lot of marshmallows and eat a ton of smores. Rena pulled the wagon down to the cul-de-sac.

They hung from trees in the neighborhood.

They took breaks inside during the day.

They ate whatever they could find in the kitchen.
They swam at the community pool as often as they possibly could. Sometimes they even had to take time for a quick snooze down there.

What a fun little group. Good thing people are lighter in the water.

They built a fort in the house that they slept in for three nights. They got to go to a lot of different beaches and play in the sand, go in the water, and do some shopping.

They saw a sand castle competition.

Checking out the sand castles.

Megan and Alex at the beach.

Alex and Cameron

Rena got buried.

Megan and Alex had such a good time with everyone. They love going to visit and getting to play with everyone and getting to do so many things. They came home on August 3rd and they are ready to go back already.

Thank you Stefanie, Jeff, Cameron, Rena, and Maleah for letting them stay so long. They had a great time!!!!!!!!!
