Suprise!!!

 I told Aubree that we were just doing a family party this year. She was pretty bummed. 2 of her friends even came to hang out on her birthday and at 5:30 I sent them home because we were going to eat dinner. Aubree begged me to let them stay and eat with us for her birthday and I said no. Little did she know 4 of her closest friends were all coming over at 6pm!!! She had no idea!

 She really wanted a cell phone, but we said no (dave said no!) so we got her the next best thing: an ipod touch.

Aubree's game

 They just need one more goal for the team to take 1st in their division and Aubree's old coach Shawn was there watching.......

Huntington Beach

 This was our last day and we wanted to keep it low key since the other days had been jam packed. So we went swimming at the hotel pool (that overlooked the ocean!!), had lunch on the harbor and took a drive up PCH and stopped at Huntington Beach.

 We put a couple of quarters in since all David wanted to do was walk up the pier, but then we found this shop that rented out bikes. So I ran a half of a mile(which is a lot for me!!!) in flip flops across the street to a 7-11 (almost got hit by a car!!) to get change, ran back to the car, and then ran back to where David and the kids were. David was negotiating the price on the bike so thats why I voted to go take care of the car. But it was all worth it. We went up and down Huntington Beach on the bike. The kids loved taking turns peddling it. Then I dropped David and Addie off at the hotel and took Aubree & Austin to my favorite beach when we used to live in California. So  much for keeping it low key.

Laguna Beach

 I got up really early one morning and walked on the beach and the streets. It was so nice without anyone around. The next day we did family pictures and spent the morning on Laguna.

 I loved the litttle shops on PCH.

 Since Addie had to dump all of her seashells out we found a little shop selling them.

 We had lunch at a pizza place. It was soooo good!
