Lazy Sunday

Last night most of the kids fell asleep early, but Lisette and I went up on the roof to watch the fireworks over Disneyland.

We still made it to bed early and we got to sleep in a fair amount before we went to church.  Karen and Wendy joined us this morning and we found the Anaheim 3rd ward and listened to their testimonies.

After church we were going to go right to the beach, but instead Melinda and I ended up taking naps (mostly me, but Melinda caught a few winks as well.

Karen and Wendy had a red rented mustang with GPS so we followed them down the freeway to Newport Beach.  It sunny and balmy with perfect 75 degree weather.  The water was cold but that didn’t seem to deter the kids at all.  They went straight in the ocean to jump in the waves.

Saffy kept pulling us into the water.  A couple of times the waves almost went over her head, but she made sure to hold our hands so that she wasn’t knocked over.

Lisette and Miles looked like they wanted to go out to sea.  If they had a boat we would have lost them.

 

Ian got thoroughly wet.  Lisette found a sea star and threw him back into the ocean.

 

The sand was fine and warm, the salty sea breeze was invigorating and the sun was inviting.  There were lots of people out enjoying the nice day.

If you look close at this landscape, that’s Karen and Wendy soaking up the sun.  We had a nice picnic with fresh La Bread bread, hummus, avocado, and deli turkey.

Now were back at the hotel and it’s only 7:30 but we’re all thinking about going to sleep.  I guess that’s why they call it a day of rest.
