Laguna Beach
California
October 13-17

We planned a weekend vacation with the Legg Family.
We all needed a break from Work, School, Accounting, (& the "Single Mom" life).
We thought relaxing on the beach, laying out on the deck, and hitting up our regular shops and restaurants sounded like the perfect getaway.
Of course it rained the whole time we were there.
Why wouldn't it???
We still had a blast.

We left Wednesday about 5:00
All six of us piled in Craig's truck.
I wish we would have taken a picture.
Cass: How did we not get a picture?

Thursday
Was supposed to be our "sunny" day.
We decided to spend the day in Huntington.
It was freezing.
We braved the beach anyways- the boys even got in.
Crazy.

Eliza didn't like the sand at first (again).
She wouldn't put her feet down in the beginning.

She slowly warmed up to it.
She even ate some with her lunch.

Our amazing "gifts" from the husbands.
So thoughtful.

These girls were so fun together.
It was soooo nice they were able to entertain each other.

Friday

Shopping at The Spectrum.
We tried the Merry-go-round for the first time.
Eliza hated it.

Kendall loved it.
She didn't want it to end.
Oh this picture is priceless.

Saturday

We braved the beach again.
This time we stayed in Laguna.
Yes- the boys got in again.
What is wrong with them?
(it was full on raining)

Ok girls... get close for a picture!
A little closer...

Just a liiiittle closer...

OK- Too close! Too close!Apparently our child has some personal space issues

Another mall.
More shopping.
More yummy food.

Adam and Craig have their own desserts?
AND they're basically touching.
Weird.
(Cassidy and I were a little jealous)

This was my wife's first time hunting on her own hunt. She has been with me (Craig) alot and she loved being outside in the wild/outdoors. She got her hunter safety in January and this is the first time she was able to hunt. We went up with alot of family and friends, but she was the only person to actually shoot an elk that weekend out of thirteen people hunting! We ended up seeing about 80 elk in a herd and there were two spikes in it(that's all she could legally shoot). She shot this one from about 350 yards! She shot four times and hit it two and was one happy hunter to say the least!!!

This is my sister Kelly and Britta in the weeee hours of the morning before the hunt started. I don't know why the were so happy this early in the morning because I know both of them very well, and the are not quite what you'd call a "morning person". I love this pic...I know what most of you are thinking and yes, this is my wife Britta: The Hunter!
