A visit to papa Percy

Rays dad had never met Brody or Dax so Ray and I thought it would be fun to drive to California and take the kids with us.... Oh boy the trip did not start so well, this is what we saw for 2 hours trying to get to Vegas. It took us 8 hours to do a 6 hour trip. We knew with the boys we would need to make the trip in 2 days. Good thing!



We waited so long someone had time to make a snowman in the inside lane of I-15

This was one of 3 accidents that cause such a mess it was a trailer pulling a double load of the Huge hay.. not the little ones the GREAT big ones we had to wait for the snowplow to clear the road and the forklift to put the hay back on.

Finally we made it to the beach. it was a gorgeous day we were so happy to find the sun.

These little baby toes are so dang cute I had to share them.

Dax LOVED the beach he didn't want shoes on and he wanted in the water......



We dug for the sand crabs and found some Brody was amazed.
Now remember how I said Daxie LOVED the beach... Brody NOT so much.! This is how he looked most of the day he wanted NOTHING to do with the water. I better tell you this was after we got hit with a wave looking for the sand crabs.. Sorry Brody Grandpa was not very good at keeping you dry. I however did a better job with Daxie.

We left and went to another beach that had the tide pools so we could see all the sea life and maybe make Brody happy. Ummmmmm not so much.

I just love this little boy he is not afraid of ANYTHING.

This is how we found the starfish we really did not move them this way.


One picture of all of us on the beach notice how Brody wants to hang on for dear life.

After a long day of crying Brody had had it. He wanted to ''Just go to our home" he kept saying he kind of made me sad. he will now tell you he wants to go to the beach so a 10 hour road trip must do something to the mind.
The boys loved meeting Papa Percy and Papa Percy was happy to meet them. Brody just followed him around asking questions...
Coming home we stopped at Tiffany's house again to break up the drive and we love to go to the Green Valley Resort with the buffet you get all the crab legs you want and boy does Ray love Crab.
