California Summer Vacation

We recently visited California for a week of fun and relaxation.  The weather was cool (maybe a little too cool) but we enjoyed every minute and reminded ourselves that it would be much hotter at home when we returned.  We spent some time on the beach and in the condo pool (it was heated).  We also visited LegoLand for 3 days - lots of fun.

As usual the kids had a blast...and as usual the parents had fun watching the kids have a blast.  Enjoy some memorable, cute, and funny photos from our adventure!

Pretty as a flower

Luke, don't pick the flowers!

Ahhh the sweet smell of flowers...
