A day at the beach with cousins


My sister Amy has a job with Alaskan Airlines, and she loves it. She is really good at what she does. Their family has been to Alaska lots of times in the past few months. One of the greatest perks of Amy working at Alaskan Airlines is that we got to meet Sarah Palin.

Actually, no I am totally kidding, but that would have been so cool! The best thing is that they get to travel all over for free! It is so awesome! Last week they came for 3 days and we had such a great time. We spent one day at the beach. Amy had a great idea of roasting hot dogs on an open fire down at Balboa. Since it is November, we were a little worried about the weather, but it was gorgeous!! This is where we were when we saw the Prop 8 skywriters.


We even called dad and Bill and since they were working on beach houses a few blocks away, they both came and enjoyed a hot dog lunch with us! So fun, and delicious!
Dixie is the QUEEN of sea adventures. She loves amazing finds like this. She fished it out of the water and wrestled it up the shore to us. She is such a sea explorer!

Such Cute Sisters!! Darcy 11, Dixie 9. I think!

We had to stall for time while Cole was in therapy for an hour... so we went to the dollar store and let each kid pick one toy. Greatest $1 spent! They were in heaven, and Amy, Wayne and I had lots of fun also! Brighton got a foam dart gun.

We had brought our Halloween costumes swords and shields for the boys to play with, so Wayne was in a sword fighting mood all weekend. Here he got Amy to Hot Dog Roaster Stick sword fight her. I think they both had a really good vacation away form the stresses of home.
