Wow. I am seriously so behind... This Newport vacation seemed like forever ago... Like always this vacation was absolutely perfect. It was so much fun being able to spend time with family, even though we were missing some very important people. Brayden could not go because of school..of course. Logan left for his mission just a few weeks before this...but on the bright side he only has one more family vacation to miss until he is back! And Tanner and Rylee weren't able to stay the whole time.. because they had to move to Alaska to get ready for their sweet little baby to come and for Tanner to start his new job!
I always love this vacation. We have our traditions we do every year like Grammy and Pa take all the kids to the balboa candy store and they go wild, an adult night out to dinner, balboa bars, treasure hunt for the kiddos, shopping, bbqs, nightly games once the kids go to bed, etc. It is the best time being surrounded by our family. This vacation is always one of the highlights of the year! It consisted of a lot of pool time, beach time, morning beach runs, the zoo, candy, homemade ice cream, lots and lots of play-doh, food, tattoos, acai bowls, and so much more! I am so thankful for my parents and the time and preparation that the take in order to get our family all together every year. The only thing that could make next year's vacation even better is having Brayden be able to come!! One can only hope...
