Pebble Beach Getaway

This past weekend we headed out for a much needed family getaway. After 3 trips to Pebble Beach in July we haven't been there since. We were really missing it so my parents let us have the house for a long weekend. It is just so nice to get out the house, be together and do something out of the norm. We invited our friends Zach and Macaire to join us, the were only able to stay one night, but it was great to reconnect with them again-for more than 2 hours- and to see their boys again. Ethan and Ben had a great time wrestling, throwing rocks, making up words and just being boys.

We of course made several trips down to the beach to throw rocks. We also headed over to the Monterey Bay Aquarium on Monday. We decided Ethan was old enough now to enjoy it and understand what he was looking at. We had a great time and hope to head back there more in the future.

At the aquarium. It was tricky to take pictures in the aquarium, but we got a few that turned out.

Morgan wasn't too impressed, she slept the whole time in the stroller.

Monday night was absolutely gorgeous. So calm and a beautiful moon rise and sunset. God is amazing.
