our house has no air conditioning

here are a few snap shots of what we've been up to on our family vacay...

playing tennis every morning
{which also causes 3rd degree sunburns...why do i only associate sunscreen w/ water?}

beach time
{which includes getting dragged across the rocky ocean floor by monster waves, and spitting out salt water for hours.}

an evening at the angel's game.
{which involved padded seats, foul ball territory, and 80's night with awesome music!}



and introducing chris to my favorite eatery in laugna beach: pomodoro.
and a few other highlights:
staying up late with all the siblings playing games, and seeing my brother laugh harder than i can remember.
seeing my sister's bare white bottom after she got attacked by a wave.
the best crispy shrimp tacos i've ever had.
seeing all ten nieces and nephews in the same place = pandemonium
having a house with no a/c - not really a highlight
and just being with my whole family, which always makes me a happy girl.
it hurts my heart to think we are leaving here tomorrow.
i don't want to talk about it.

It's been such a good time. We need to do this every year for sure. Someday, there will be 20 grandkids. Then it will be REALLY crazy.
