Family and Friends weekend

Last weekend our good friends Bart and Meriel came to town. It was a perfect weekend. Friday we spent the day up in Orange county so that Derek could partake of the epic waves. Unfortunately he had a battle with a wave and the waves won...taking one of his boards. We went to Salt Creek in the afternoon to hang out....Jack and I played in the sand (the ocean was to crazy to play in the water) and Derek and Mitch surfed. The waves were pretty unbelieveable. I meant to take some pictures of them surfing, but forgot my camera. The only pictures I have are of some random guys surfing at a surf spot at El Moro which rarely breaks.

We then had a bonfire with some of my cousins at Big Corona. It was a bit difficult with Jack...lots of people and lots of firepits brings too much temptation and too much wandering. But, we had a ton of fun catching up with family members we don't see too often. Not to mention we could see the tops of the waves at the Wedge...and they were huge!

notice Jack chasing the ball and Landon chasing Jack with a stick....this pretty much sums up the crazy night!

The next day was the main event! Our good friends Bart and Meriel came down so that we could shower them with gifts and food! Bart's Mom and myself threw Meriel a shower, and Moranda did the amazing flowers! It was a lot of fun and she got some CUTE things for baby Isla.

How cute is this baby tutu? Meriel is grooming her already!

We spent the rest of the day with a surprise visit from my niece Lauryn and meeting up with some of Derek's cousins who were also in town. It was a busy weekend but definitely lots of fun! (and I know Jack had a blast with all of the attention and different surroundings!)
