Weekend Adventures

This summer we've been able to get out a little bit and enjoy some quality family time. A few week ago we decided to go camping. A friend of mine told me about a camp site not too far from our house that was free for use. Little did I know that it would be almost completely barren and rather warm. We ended up having a decent time, but think it would be the best to go camping there next spring when all of the wild flowers are in bloom. It was nice not freezing at night, and although Emma had a hard time sleeping it was nice to just be together and doing something different.

Last weekend we took a trip down to Los Angeles. We had some friends getting sealed in the temple and so Mike went to the sealing while I walked with the girls around the temple. Emma loves seeing the temple and can't wait until she is old enough to be able to go inside. We then headed down to Santa Monica beach and the Pier. We haven't been to the beach since before Vivian was born so it was nice to go again. Since Emma has been taking swim lessons she was very excited about the water. Mike took her out and held on while the waves picked her up and down. She was loving it and called it the water she could stand on. Vivian enjoyed crawling all over the beach as well. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time.
