What we did on our Summer Vacation:
Since it's going to be officially Fall in a few days, I thought I'd finally get around to posting about our Summer. It went by too quickly, but we managed to sneak in lots of fun!
We visited Eric's parent's house in Seal Beach, CA for my sister's college graduation in May:
No trip to Seal Beach is complete unless you walk down Main St. to the pier and pet Slick the Seal.
Our FAVORITE beach in California is Crescent Bay in Newport. We try to make it down there every time we go, whether it's warm or not. The kids love to dig in the sand and splash in the water.
My sister graduated from Cal State Fullerton with a BA in Creative Photography. It was great to see my brother Jef too!
In June, my friend, Erica, and her kids were visiting from North Carolina, so we got together with our other friend, Kristi, and her kids. We bravely took Trax to the Children's Museum in Salt Lake and to play in the fountains afterward. The kids all got along so well, it was a little sad when the day ended. It's crazy that I've been friends with these girls for more than half my life and that we are moms now!
We also celebrated Dane's birthday in June!
We had a water party in the backyard with some of our "little" cousins and a few friends. It took Dane a while to warm up to the party, so I'm glad I kept it smaller. He did love the water table we got, and of course, cupcakes!
He's the typical 2 year old boy - loves to throw and hit anything and everything and can go from being unbelievably cute and sweet to throwing a HUGE fit all in the same minute. He's talking up a storm and is obsessed with bowling.
In July we went to St. George for a Jorgensen family reunion. It was hot, but lots of fun. The kids LOVED playing with their cousins all day for three days straight.
Also in July we took the kids to San Diego to go to Sea World and the beach. Both were a BIG hit!
Megan got to fly a kite and Dane was obsessed with sand crabs.
My new obsession for the trip - Yogurtland. We went every night we were there!
Sea World was fabulous and we were so glad Grandma and Papa were able to come with us.
Dane fell asleep on my lap as soon as Shamu started, of course!
In August I was able to go on my annual girls' trip to Texas with my sister to visit my Aunt Katheryn. It's always hot, but always fun!
Megan started her second year of preschool at the end of August and life has slowed down a bit for us. Megan LOVES school and has been asking about it pretty much every day since it ended back in May. We love Summer, but are excited for all that Fall brings as well!
