Newport Beach






The first place we went when we got to California was the beach.  I love the ocean and could just sit and watch the waves come in all day long.  The kids had a great time out on the rocks catching crabs with hot dogs.  It was fun to watch the crabs come out of the holes in the rocks and pinch pieces of the hot dog off and eat it.  Devin was even able to get one of them up to the surface, but as soon as Megan saw it she screamed and scared the little crab to death I'm sure.  While we were out on the rocks we noticed a bunch of seagulls by our stuff on the beach.  When we got back to our blanket all of our food was gone.  We had bought bagels, turkey and potato chips and everything was gone so we ended up eating dinner at a resturant on the end of the pier. It was such a beautiful day and the kids had a blast playing in the water and making sand castles.

How fun that you were able to get away and go on a trip. I need to do that again. It's always nice to have a break from every day life. And a break from the freezing cold temperatures!

ahhhh...the beach. I laughed at the hot dog thing...I've never heard of doing that. We will have to try it someday. :-)

I'm so jealous! I have a friend who lives in Newport and I want to visit her so bad. It looks like you had a great trip. Welcome back to cold, snowy Utah.
