Family Vacation to Southern CA

We went down to visit family in Southern CA and see Brandon's brother Brett who came home from his mission.


Here is McKenna with grandma Clausen and lovin every minute of it.


Grandma Clausen, with some of her granddaughters.


Brandon helping Caleb ride on a skateboard. Now all Caleb talks about is having a skateboard.


Kenna so happy outdoors with her cousins


Evan just loved McKenna and would try to hold her and help feed her, he was great.


Caleb LOVES to be outside and kept trying to go into the pool, here's Brandon trying to keep him out of the pool.




The Newport Beach temple, one night we all went as a family to the temple. I went back the next day when we were in Newport and took this picture of the temple.

The kids ate outside a lot since there were so many of us. Uncle Morgan liked to eat out there with them.


We spent most of Saturday at the beach. McKenna's first time at the beach. She face planted once into the sand and I picked sand out of every part of her for days, but she loved it.

The boys in pyramid form


Grandma showing Caleb seaweed

Brett (the return missionary) skimboarding, he loved being back in the water more than anything.
Brandon surfing, I think Brandon enjoyed being back in the water even more.

Evan playing in the sand

The kids buried Uncle Brett (except McKenna of course and Caleb fell asleep in the sun so he didn't help either)
