More O.C.

Our mornings started out with everyone taking their chairs down to the beach to reserve our 'spot'. There's not a ton of people there, but since our group was so big and we had the volleyball net, we needed to save a spot. I love seeing all the chairs lined up like that. It wasn't planned that a lot of my cousins would be there. We had no idea that we had all booked the same week until about a month before we left, so it was fun to see them there.
On Sunday we went into town to go to church and completely overwhelm their sacrament mtg. The congregation there is always welcoming and it's fun to see people we recognize since we've been there so often.
Every night we gathered for a campfire that each family took a turn being in charge of with the theme of Putting On The Armor of God. Our night was specifically on 'feet shod with the preparation of gospel peace'! Yeah, the kids totally got it! ;) We also sang songs around the campfire and it was fun to have my grandma there to sing her famous songs. She's hilarious.
Probably my favorite memory from the trip is the Night Hike we did with the teenagers. After all the kids were in bed, we grabbed our head lamps and went on a hike to see the stars. It was fun and amazing and beautiful!! I wish I could've taken pictures of the stars!
The triplets are all grown up!
Uncle Randy was super nice and patient to play Ticket to Ride with my boys!

Look at that view!
This was right outside the light house we went to and got no picture of
My cousin Kyle is the best! He gives the best hugs. Him and Toby were both so excited they were matching!!!

Sam and Landon thought they were so cool with their wet suits on. Sam didn't care that his didn't fit - it still helped!

Why do boys have to do something weird in pictures? Why can't they just smile?!
Gathering for a campfire. This was towards the end - I know because everyone looks exhausted!
