Huntington Beach Girls Trip

On Saturday I got a text from my Aunt Jeanne asking if Camry and I would like to go on a girls trip the following weekend with her and Sharley. YES!! We packed up our bags and headed to St. George, picked up Aunt Jeanne, then headed to California. On Sharley's blog she mentioned how she always forgets to take photos on trips because she likes to "live the experience". I think I'm the opposite. My experience is all about documentation. :) I probably take way too many photos but I want to make sure I capture all of the moments to relive them later. Beware of a long post....

Because food is a MAJOR part of a girls trip we documented every meal.

Up first Pizza at BJ's. YUM!

11 hours in the car...this is what we look like. Take it or leave it. :)

Pedis in our room...Before

Toes...After

Huntington Beach, California

This is our hotel. It was gorgeous.

Burgers at Ruby's on the pier. Pretty sure Jorge (our bus boy) had never been asked to take a photo like this before. He spoke little English and thought we were nuts. Haha

Beach book time. Nothing better!

Photo by Camry

Camry burying my legs. This felt soooo good!

Thanks for this awesome photo Sharley! :)

Cams playing in the ocean

There were 3 or 4 pools at our hotel. This was one of them. Camry and Sharley decided to do the water slides.

Shar...you're welcome for not posting the photo where your suit is falling off. :)

Zoorrasic Park at Hogle Zoo

We spent the afternoon at the zoo today. The weather was perfect! We had such a good time. Me, Jace, Garet, and Maddie rode with Aunt Laura and the babies and we met Aunt Jacci, Sophie, and Dawson at the zoo. I'm pretty sure we saw every single animal there was to see. We played on the playground, and we rode the train and the carousel.

Jace and Garet with Tyrannosaurus Rex

Reptile House with Soph and Maddie

Dylan did not like the carousel...

But Dawsie did!

Ice cream! Yay!

This was my ice cream cone. I think Brielle ate more of it then I did. She has a real sweet tooth!

"Natures Nightmare"...this is Maddie's scared face. haha

This was the little boys favorite. A water squirting dinosaur!

Front row of the train! They had it all planned out!

Sweet Maddie girl

Dylan never stops. He is a busy boy and he loved the park!

Last stop...Giraffes.

Love the zoo!!

Cubs Baseball 2011

The Cubs have had a tough season this year but that isn't because they haven't tried their best and fought for every win or loss that they've had. Uncle Jeff is the coach and that has been tons of fun. I love watching my boys play ball!
