Newport Beach

The happiest week of the year-Newport Beach! We were so extremely excited to go since we missed last year. Having McCrae definitely made things a little crazier but he was so good! From the first day at the beach in his jammies, he became a total beach bum.

We bought a kiddle pool and used it all week. All of the cousins were MORE than happy to bring bucket after bucket of ocean water to fill the pool. McCrae was definitely well taken care of.

McCrae played hard, which meant he ate a TON and took 3-hour naps! It was awesome.

Ava was his 2nd mother all week. He loves her so much.

He only ate a few handfuls of sand the entire trip. Then he would look at me like, "I forgot that I don't like this..."

We love riding bikes up and down the boardwalk all week. And we couldn't have been more thrilled that McCrae now loves it too!

Conner put his brother's through a Crossfit workout one morning. It was rough. But its definitely paying off-as you can see. Haha.

Somehow I was chosen to be the seaweed monster...it was pretty nasty but we all had fun.

I sure do love these two!

Each morning McCrae would wake up so early. He wanted to get out to the beach! So that we wouldn't wake everyone else, we would walk up and down the boardwalk. It was early, but it was beautiful.

We met Dennis Rodman one morning. He was wasted and it was only 8:30 am. What a disappointment. But he's still Dennis Rodman, nonetheless.

So long Newport...until next year!
