Newport 2008





Extra special Newport treats: getting mom or dad into the ocean...brrr! (picture of Darren and Ethan) * Balboa Park at night- rock climbing, jumper, merry-go-round * Boomers- gocarts, rides, golf (no pictures, just favorite memories- especially with Blakers and the carts) * and a good nap on the beach.



Catching waves...and hermit crabs. This year the kids even found a clam with a living organism in it. Pretty amazing.



You can never dig too many holes or get buried too much at a Bryan reunion in So. Cal!





Too many choices of cousins to play with! Ethan is close in age to Caden and Conner, Blake is close to Collin, and Keaton is close to Cory. Blake and Collin kept saying "Best Buds" (between little arguments, of course!).






My cute boys having fun...


It's no surprise that one of the highlights of our summer was our annual trip to Newport with Darren's family. It still amazes me that the kids pick up from where they left off last time they saw their cousins...like they've played together every day, all year long. A few extra special moments: we announced our baby and Dana got engaged. Just posting these pictures has me excited about next year!

That beach looks dreamy. Someday we should have a Bailey reunion on a beach - like in Hawaii or something!

It's always a treat to see Blake's posing talent for pictures. And by the way, poor Jackson is going through withdrawls from playing with your kids. He has mentioned Blake in every prayer we've had since being home.

I think I'll look at these pictures all day Saturday since our high will be 49 degrees. Shoot me...
