JULY 2015 Recap

July 2015 Recap

 Drove out to Idaho for summer vacation.  Had a travel hiccup as I ran over a trucks driveline that was in the middle of the road (and looked like just a dead raccoon but definetly was not) around 4:30 am the day we left.... 30 minutes away from my house but right across the street from my van's dealership Just a Crazy thing huh ....  Had to wait 2 1/2 hours for the service dept to even open and then see what to do about my damaged van.  Ended up having to get a rental since my car needed tons of repair done on its under carriage so we had to transfer our packed car to the rented van. Left a lot later then we originally planned but still going. The rest of the drive went really great until I also got a speeding ticket in Cokeville WY 2 hours away from my Idaho Home GRRRRR.  the universe was against me for those two days but after that no problems at all and we had a great time in Idaho with family!

Newport Beach 2013

Newport Beach in July, do I even need to say anymore??  Just glimpsing at these pictures you will see the fun we had!  Our Grandpa Delwyn and Grandma Barbara rented beachfront condos for the families to enjoy as a Pre-Christmas gift, which was well recieved by everyone!!  We had a blast! Thank you Thank you!!

 The first touch of the ocean!  The kids couldn't wait to go in.  Forget swimming suits or towels, we are at the beach people!  

We found little sand crabs all over the place.  My mom also taught a watercolor painting class on the beach.  Her painting and Sophie's were awesome.
