Newport Beach, CA

A few weeks ago Dave and I flew to California for my family's first ever Family Reunion.

Since I can remember my Mom's family has had a beach reunion every other year in Southern California. So, we decided to carry on the tradition now that my immediate family is turning into an extended family.

It was so fun to be around family and to be able to relax and enjoy the cool, breezy weather in Newport (it has been hot and humid over here in Virginia lately). My mom planned the reunion and we had a special theme: Secret Agents. Every day there were activities, lessons, etc. related to that theme. The little boys loved learning how to be secret agents!

This is secret agent physical training. Notice the 'water backpacks.'




Also notice Tyler's arms when he runs. Could you get any cuter??? When I decide to have a little boy I think I'm going to order myself a Tyler.

All the boys and Karen (because she's cool and I'm not) took surfing lessons. Like Dave's orange wetsuit? He did!

Notice, how Scott is trying to keep Crew away from the water. Oh that little chunker! He kept running straight for the water. And when it knocked him over he came up laughing. I want to give that kid a big squeeze right now!

For Tara's activity night we took family pictures. Our impromptu family pic outfits didn't turn out too bad now did they?!










Good thing Drew doesn't grow chest hair yet...





If you have an aversion to kissing pictures, then disregard this next one... but seriously... look at that sun! How could I NOT post it! Plus, it was our first anniversary!



I can't wait for the next reunion!
