CA Trip to Melissa's

I flew out to my sister Melissa's new place in Laguna Niguel California a couple weeks ago to help her unpack and set up her house. It was so gorgeous there! She lives just a couple miles from the ocean and there are green hills like a little valley surrounding her! When I arrived, we went and ate at Ihop, then wnet and saw her new pad and after that we went to Strands Beach and found a bunch of shells for Braxton and Tylar. That night she served us a yummy roast beef meal (my favorite!) and salad that she cooked and her boyfriend Chris who she moved there with; his parents came over for dinner and hung out for a bit. They were really down to earth and super cool!

Melissa got us all tickets to go Whale Watching. It was so so beautiful and an unforgettable experience! I have never done anything like that before, so it was really amazing! Unfortunatley we didn't see any Whales but better yet, we saw so many Dolphins! They would come up right next to our boat and swim side by side with us, it was the coolest thing ever to see wild Dolphins swim with us! We also saw Sea Lions and plenty of different Birds. I had so much fun! Thanks again Melissa and Chris! I will never forget that!

Here's some pictures I got of the Dolphins; that's how close they were to us! Below I captured a shot of a Dolphin many feet in the air, it was so cool!! 

The three of us cruisin and king of the world!

We went to Laguna Beach my last night there. The kids were so cute to hang out wit,. we watched the Sunset, it was so peaceful and beautiful!

We ended the night relaxing in their hot tub. it was great!

I stayed for four days but it flew by pretty fast. I was sad to leave my little sis but excited to get back home to my kiddies! Jess and Mike watched them the entire time, Jess got Braxton to School and back. made all his lunches and so much more! She did such a great job! They also took all the kids to Mike's Baseball game one night. Braxton really got a kick out of that! They took them out to dinner another night, I know the kids must have loved that! Thanks so very much Mike and Jess! I TRULY appreciate it!!!!

Last night we had FHE. I prepared the lesson but Nate gave it for me. it was so cute! We sang a bunch of songs and made cookies, then we messed around and took silly pictures together, we thought we'd show our sense of humor and silliness to everyone, it was tons of fun!!
