I was so excited when my sister Megan invited our family to spend the weekend in Newport Beach with them. We stayed in this two bedroom villa. I absolutely love spring time, the warm weather and the anticipation for endless days of summer fun! The weather was perfect around 75 degrees with a light breeze. We had so much fun hanging out by the pool sipping icy drinks, looking at tide pools at Crystal Cove Beach, relaxing, enjoying the company and scenery. Such a wonderful vibe in the air when you're at the beach.
This is a picture of some of the quaint little houses on the beach.
This is a little house that they are going to restore, It's a little beat up.

A view from the top of the stairs we had to climb down to reach the beach. Luckily we had men with us to help carry all the goods down. We did have one mishap while climbing down, my mother fell and scraped up her elbows and bruised herself pretty good.
I just loved all the flowers around this house. So postcard perfect!
This is the place we stayed at.
Hannah, Kalena, and Lizzy in the spa
Morgan and Kaleb playing chess
The girls posing for one of the few photos where they are actually looking at the camera.
My kids do not like to take pictures.
Hannah & Lizzy made a house out of the chess figures.
The Shack (the game room at the hotel).
Kaleb & Kalena enjoying a quick game then back outside to catch some rays.
Kaleb
My sister Megan who is six months pregnant and so cute!
I hope she didn't mind, but while we were at the beach this couple was getting married, so I snapped a few photos.
Looking at the tide pools
The kids thought this was great, they even stuck their toes in the sea anemones. I hope that didn't hurt them.
Sticking his toe in them
Looking at the sea anemones
Hey look my finger is stuck
A hermit crab
Observing nature
Ouch this hurts without shoes
We even saw a starfish
My parents, Chris (Megan's husband), and the kiddos.
Kaleb is crazy, he managed to get back to shore safely
Climbing rocks
Hannah, I must have bribed or threatened her for this smile, usually she won't look at the camera.
Lizzy and Hannah playing in the sand.
The stairway down to the beach
The water was a tad bit cold
The gang
Hannah
The Baywatch babes running down the beach
Pretending to surf, the water was a bit cold and it was a little bit rocky too.
Check out the size of those rocks. Hannah had a few cuts from those.
Having a good time
Checking out the surfers
Grandma Audrey and Hannah eating sand cakes
Morgan, Kalena, and Kaleb spend hours doing this
Noah and Grandpa enjoying quiet time
Playing a game
Before we left Richard celebrated his 35th birthday!
