California Dreamin'

Our annual treck to Newport Beach with the Seal Family was a huge success. We were so happy to have 19 out of our 20 family members there...an almost perfect record. All 10 grandkids got to spend the week together, enjoying fun destinations like the beach, the resort pool, Legoland, and SeaWorld. So much excitement packed into a few days! Thanks to Kara and Dylan (aka the Big Kids) for being such good sports with all of their rambunctious little cousins. And of course a HUGE thank you to Grandpa and Grandma for making it all possible. They spoil us all! Wonderful memories were made and a great time was had by all! Here are just a few pictures to capture some of the highlights.
