California Trip

We were so lucky to have Jack's parents take us out to California to spend a week out at Newport beach. We got to stay in some super sweet Marriott rooms and we all got to work on our tans. We had so much fun and it was so great to spend time with the family.
It was awesome to finally get all the little baby cousins all together too.
We also had quite the adventure getting out to CA. The A/C in the car that we all drove down in gave out right after St. George, so we had to travel the rest of the way in about 110 degree temperatures. Poor Jaxon did sooooo well. He is quite the content little traveler and hardly made a fuss the whole drive. We are sooooo blessed that Jaxon has such a super sweet temperament.
We tried to cool Jaxon down the best we could and laid out wet wipes on him for the duration of the drive. Sadly, Jaxon was not a big fan of the beach. He didn't mind the pool so much, but he hated the sand and cold CA ocean water. As soon as we put him in the water, he would bend his legs back and put them down on top of mine.
But all in all, we had such a fabulous time and it was a great opportunity to bid farewell to our family in Utah before heading out to Ohio. I've only posted a couple of pictures here, but you can get the rest of them at this link here.

No A/C!! That is intense! I am sad that you moved before I could come see Jaxon. He is quite cute and he was born on Ben's and my anniversary!

yikes. A/C is missed up here in Edmonton....nevermind California. Glad you had fun though. It's a great place.

What a great party to have before you move! He is adorable! I can't believe how big he is already.
