Joshua and Grandpa really got along well. Joshua's preferred place at the beach was as far from the water as possible (I think he rode on someone's shoulders as much as he could).
Grandma and Grandpa walking the 100 stairs down to the beach from the hotel with Elyssa. Going down was the easy part.
The hotel also had a game deck with ping pong, badminton, and a large chess board. Davey and Kella liked the ping pong and wanted to play all the way to check out time.
Lyssie figured out that riding on Grandpa's shoulders was more fun than the stroller and much easier than walking herself. She was happy most of the trip, but we couldn't get her to smile for the pictures. As you might ascertain from the look on her face ... she's actually the one in control.
Lyssie is such a good hand-holder when she's not running or riding. This is her and Grandma on the pier at Avila Beach.
We have a hundred more great pictures from the trip. If anyone wants to see them, let me know and I can burn you a disk or send more in an email. Just let me know.
We really enjoyed everyone who came out to visit for Kella's baptism. The older kids played well with the younger kids and liked hanging out with the rest of the family. It was nice to just sit around and shoot the breeze or just enjoy each other's company. Hopefully we'll have more opportunity to do this more frequently down the road. The kids liked being around their grandparents, aunts, uncle, and cousins. Thanks to everyone who came out to California!!!

Looks like a great ime at the beach. and I loved the pictures of Amy and Machella on their baptism days!
HI Doll Family!! We miss our fabulous neighbors!!! Machella you looked so darling for your baptism! We wish we would have been there. I'm so glad you guys have comments now! The babies are getting so big. I can't believe the difference a few months can make. I'll be thinking of you guys tomorrow when school starts. Logan, Maddie, and Meg start on Wednesday and it just won't be the same without Machella and Davy to walk with. I finally updated so people can see what we've been doing. I have a new email, but it's having a few problems, but as soon as I get the kinks worked out I'll let you know what it is. We miss hanging out with you guys! Good luck at school!
