Top 10 of vacations
Best:
1. Spending time with the family.
2. Relaxing.
3. Creating memories.
4. Beach time.
5. Reliving as the stories are shared afterwards and knowing they had a good time.
6. Braxton-Discover the sand and ocean for the first time, actually relaxing and holding still in the swimming pool.
7. Brianna-Excitement in her eyes as we found crabs, star fish, snails and more in tide pools.
8. Brock-Learning to use his snorkle and mask and enjoying the freedom.
9. Matt-Actually getting to finally tour the USS Midway with only one kid quarrel.
10. Returning home to a clean house that still smells like new after almost 2 years! And most importantly coming home to Braden (who had fun with Grams & Gramps)!
Worst:
1. Waiting over an hour for our rental minivan.
2. Discovering when we hit 90+ degree weather in Cedar that the AC in the rental was broken.
3. Having to spill tears to get a suburban from the rental location instead of cramming the kids into a smaller vehicle. Plus side though, the AC worked and loved the room of the "burban."
4. Coming home to a weeks worth of laundry for 5 people.
5. Missing the beach already!
We were able to have a great time in So. Cal bonding and sharing time together.
Ahhh...air conditioning!

Amazing street performer that looked like a statue and proceeded to scare Bri and I when he started moving. Later Bri was so cute as she gave him a buck that he lost his composure and started laughing.
