Six Flags

We spent one of our vacation days at Six Flags. I was really looking forward to this because I like roller coasters. I forgot that I was 12 the last time I was there and now I am in my 30's. Right off the bat we rode the X2 roller coaster. I was shaking when I got off. I had a trauma and was ruined. By far the scariest thing ever.



I made Megan take this picture ;)






Megan loved this ride. I shoots you backward to the top at 90MPH, then you free fall down....


The swings are much more my speed...
The girls were thrilled to find a souvenir that only cost $5 so they each bought a Wonder Woman cape. And I won't go into details, but right after this photo was taken, one of the girls took a flying leap off the curb and quickly realized that this cape will not help you fly. And Nate's mom just happened to have her camera on action and caught it frame by frame. And it was so hilarious to see her wrapped up in her cape trying to get up that I almost peed my pants. I'm cracking up right now re-living it. (She was laughing as well, I swear.) And I'm happy to say that by the end of the day most of my trauma had gone away and I was able to enjoy some more rides. Another great day of vacation, filled with great people watching.

San Clemente Beach

We headed to So Cal for a family vacation in May. Since we've never lived by the ocean, it's always a treat to spend a day at the beach. Megan made it her personal mission to rid the beach of sea weed.
We found lovely sea creatures. The kids wanted to bring this star fish home. Ummmmm....no.

Searching for crabs


It's a hard life, but Sam is willing to take this burden on.














The water was COLD!!!


What a great day we had! Fun memories to always hold dear.
