Newport Beach and Grandma's House

November 6th -

On the third day of our California Trip we headed down to Newport Beach. The previous two days had been very warm, especially for that time of year in California (over 90 degrees) but the day we went to the beach it cooled off considerably and was down around 70 with a lot of wind. But it was nice and sunny and we were able to enjoy several hours at the beach.

Cute Emmalyn kept her little towel robe on most of the time to keep warm...


We have a picture similar to this with Shaylin and Emmalyn so we decided to take one with Bronson...


Bronson walking on the beach. He liked it except for when the cool water would come hit his feet.


Emmalyn and Shaylin on the beach...






There were a few people there, but it wasn't too crowded at all. Matt and Shaylin are in the lower right hand corner of this next picture.


Although roller coasters don't seem so scare Shaylin, bugs and things touching her feet tend to freak her out. She felt something touch her feet in the ocean and about a tenth of a second later this is what she looked like after literally jumping up to Matt and clinging on for dear life.


Emmalyn waded into the water once or twice, and then she'd had enough.


But Shaylin, just like in the past, couldn't get enough of running into and out of the water.


Here's the girls new 'bedroom' that they set up back at Grandma Olsen's house...

Bronson starting to run...


We've probably mentioned it before, but when it comes to picture taking Shaylin can't get enough of it while Emmalyn is usually uninterested (at best) in having pictures taken of her and will runaway or won't smile. So that's why we often end up with a lot of pictures of Shaylin by herself and not a lot of the two girls together or Emmalyn by herself. So here's a few pictures that Jayna took in Grandma Olsen's backyard of Shaylin. She wanted to hold her new coloring books in the first one :).
