Beach vacation 2009




































San Clemente was amazing and always is. Brett's family has a long tradition of spending a week at the beach. And its one I am happy to carry on. This year we had over 50 Holman's and all the sun, sand and cousins any kid could hope for. Robert has been holding Family Home Evening for the past few years on Mon. and this years was amazing. Eating on the Pier on Fathers day was a highlight for me, deep sea fishing and the Dodgers game was Brett's favorite, Sage loved playing with Reagan, Madison, Landon and Camden... Max and Mason loved playing with all the cousins, the Dodgers Game, walks on the pier at night, playing baseball on the beach, and digging in the sand. Spending a whole week with our kids was so awesome. They are becoming interesting little people and have so much to say. Brett and I were amazed at how independent they are all becoming and how much easier it is to travel with them. No strollers or car seats or port-a-cribs. Sage is quite a boogie boarder and swims like a fish, she reads for hours on end and helps with every ones kids without being asked. Max loved the water too but was more into digging and playing catch and baseball... Mason played in the waves, but hated the way the sand got in his shorts, he spent most of the time digging and playing with Camden and Landon. I cant tell you how much fun it was having nothing to do and no were to go. Michelle and G-pa took Sage on a dolphin watching boat, and all they saw were whales. All in all it was great just to be with our family.

I LOVE your family sooooo much!! We had a blast and i appreciate all of your help with the kiddos. You're so much fun to talk to and it makes me sad that we live so far away!
