California Trip: Day Four

Saturday morning we headed over to Kevin's to meet up with everyone.  Connor loved going to see his aunt and uncle for many reasons, but one important one was that you got to ride an elevator to get to their apartment.  This boy LOVES elevators!  He also enjoyed getting to know all of the neighbors on our trips up and down.

Rachel packed us the best picnic lunch and we headed to the beach.

Santa Monica beach was just a short drive from their place.

 Connor has always loved sand castles.  He had been dreaming about the day he could actually build one.

 We ventured out in to the water only to get our feet wet.  It was cold!

 This was Owen and Carson's first trip to the beach.

 Later that afternoon we headed back for nap time.

 Cole took Connor back to the hotel to rest and get cleaned up.  He made himself right at home as soon as he returned.  Owen was sweet to share some of his new toys with Connor.

 We had an early Mother's Day celebration that night since we were all together.  Rachel and Kevin made an amazing pasta dinner along with salad, bread, and banana pudding for dessert.  Rachel was so sweet and had also bought ingredients for Connor to make mini pizzas.  

 Helping in the kitchen is one of his favorite things to do.

 Sweet Owen

 We tried to get a few pictures with the kids.

 Carson was pretty interested in his new cousin.

I have a feeling these two are going to have a lot of fun times ahead!

Later that night we headed back to the hotel to start packing for our flight in the morning.  Our trip had finally come to an end.  It was a sweet time with family and lots of fun memories were made.
