Day Five of Disneyland

Alright, I know this is getting confusing. I am going back to NOVEMBER 09. This is day 5 of our California trip. DANA POINT.
It was a balmy,76 degree's. SO NICE. We were on our way to San Diego and wanted the kids to experience the beach so we saw some signs on the interstate and drove right to this perfect beach.

Of course what is the favorite activity of kids(and adults) while on a beach?? Shell and rock hunting!!

After 30 mins of hunting we went on a little hike around the point. It is so relaxing hearing the waves come in and segulls over head. It also helps the the sun is shining and really warm!

After the hike the girls and I went back to the beach while Jax and Tony went on to more dangerous ground. Sarah started rock hunting again, and Lily immediatly stripped off her shoes socks AND pants and went to draw in the wet sand.

Jaxson indulged Tony by checking out the native flora. Tony is always checking out new plants. These were growing off the sheer side of a cliff.

After Tony and Jaxson came back Tony grabbed the camera and caught this perfect shot with Lily. She was being soooo careful to only let her feet get wet while drawing in the sand.

Now that she was 'soaked' she begged Tony to take her out on this rock and run from the waves. They did this for about 30 mins.

We stayed on the beach for about 3 hours then the hunger pains set in and we drove to the condo's. On our way to the car we saw 3 people doing this in the harbor. I guess it is a new sport. It sure would take alot of balance.

This was an awsome ship that was also in the harbor. The kids thought it was the pirates of the Caribean... Yes I spelled that right. CariBEAN.

Valentines Day

On Saturday night Tony and I went out to dinner. While we were out, Tony had arranged with Jaxson and the babysitter to make a 'Valentine' movie for me about how Tony and I had first met as well as our first date,Buddy dance. The kids showed it to me Sunday. I laughed so hard I cried. Here is a little background so you will understand the shots. Tony says he first saw me at church wearing a blue dress(the same one Sarah is wearing in the movie). Next we spoke to each other at a ward activity where Tony was leading everyone in a round of "The other Day..." song. He had come up to me to introduce himself and I Totally brushed him off. Next my roomate Heather set us up on the "BuddyDance" date. He tried to hold my hand the entire night but I wouldn't let him. He tried to show off at the dance by doing the splits. I just thought he was really cheesy, but obviously he eventually convinced me otherwise. Hope you enjoy.
