Going to Cali~ Coastline and cousins!

 We had to take a picture of this sign because this summer Jenna and I read the Hunger Games Trilogy.  She thought it was so cool!

 Sights along the way
 Aunt Marianne took us to see this Sea lion rescue place. It was neat to see all of them
 This was next door. They had birds that they had rescued in here
 Next we went to go see this... You read about this Amazing bell here.

 It was amazing! And yes we are wearing jackets! From 115 in vegas to 75 in San Perdo we felt chilled!

 I love this!
 The View's were just MAGNIFICENT!
 Look at this Tree!
 This old Light house was all decked out in Americana


 This port is in San Pedro just minutes from my Aunt Marianne and Uncle Dean's house
 This bridge was really neat too. Then we went back to their house and had a fabulous dinner of pork chops wrapped in bacon. It was very tasty, and Samuel of course LOVED the Bacon!
 The Next day we went to meet up with Kirsten, Keith, Henry and Lena and see the Hollywood sign!
 Look at these cute cousins! They had a blast together!

 The observatory
 Samuel has been wanting me to take him here for a while, His wish came true today!

 It's Hollywood! These two had so much fun together! They reminded me of my cousin Adam and myself! They were just silly together!

 Swimming at Kirsten and Keith's!
 Lena was hesitant to get in but by the end Jenna was able to get her in
 Hamburgers and root beer by the pool! They LOVE this place!

 Then Uncle Dean Treated us to MENCHIES! All the Nelson grand kids love menchies!
 More sight seeing with Aunt Marianne and Mark. Such Beauty




 The Beach...... what we've been waiting for! WE had so much fun just watching Samuel's joy!



 They dug in the sand and I'm sayin' "This is the Life!"

 Samuel is making his S and J in the sand

 He loved the seaweed
 Jenna needed to relax


 Aunt Marianne treated us to ice cram on the Board walk! So fun!



 Back to Kirsten and Keith's fro a little Just Dance Action!


 Their doggie just loves Mark!
 Kirsten took us on a hike to see some Movie stars homes. It was a little Hot!
 Then they took us to The Counter~ one of their favorites and now it's ours too!
 cute girls!
 More Menchies! We can't get enough!
 These next pictures are so GREAT! True cousin fun at it's BEST! Jenna had her mask and her and Henry decided they should all do it! Lena was a little unsure about the whole thing!




 They had to add cucumber to their eyes to make it complete!




 Just relaxing...
They Totally Crack me up! They had so much fun! Although Lena was not a fan! She makes me laugh, and all Henry and Jenna say to is "It's Fine"! We had so much fun with our California family and we were so blessed to go see them! But now we miss them like crazy! Thank you so much for such a great visit!
