California Summer Vacation

Now that we're back home, I am truly appreciating the cooler summer temperatures and loving the rain. I've come to the realization that I'd rather be wet from the rain than from sweat. It was hot in CA!  And for the short time we stayed with Cassie and Alan in Victorville (high desert), it was hot and humid....bad combination.  Overall, we enjoyed our time with family and ate alot of In and Out cheeseburgers...a record five times to be exact.

We stayed the night with Alan & Cassie after leaving Bishop.

McKinley couldn't wait to go to the park behind their new house.

Scoping out the swimming competition at a private

lake in Victorville.

Time to get wet!

 

 

She sat and splashed for about five minutes

and thought it was the funniest thing ever.

Cousin Lizzie joins her for some splashing action.

Back in San Diego, we sunned and swam at

Nana & Boppy's black-bottom pool.

We love family time at the pool!

Chillin' with cousin Mikey, when we went to visit

Uncle Eric and Aunt Debra in La Jolla.

 

Testing out the water temperature at Cornado Beach.

Dadda made her a wall to protect her from the incoming tide.

McKinley with her cousin Leyton, behind the "wall."

Beach day with Auntie Shannon, Uncle Ryan & Leyton..so much fun!

Another pool party at Nana & Boppy's.

Pretty hydrangeas!

Cousin shot with Abby, Lizzie, Luke and Micah-moo.

We couldn't wait to show McKinley the San Diego Zoo!

Although, she enjoyed the petting zoo the most.

I look like a Galapagos...very fitting.

Ahmma, Shawna and Eddie joined us at the zoo.

Getting soaked at Santee Lakes water fountains.

She was fearless!

Without her sun hat she resembles a wet rat.

 

Hangin' with cousin Leyton one last time.

At least Leyton was enjoying it!
