Happy 4th of July!



Today we celebrated our Nation's birthday by going to the Beach and Storm Chasing. 

   One of my favorite things         and            One of Scott's favorite things











We started off heading to the beach early thinking we wouldn't have any problems with parking at 8:30. Well when we got there we started to get a little worried!

Next when we finally go the parking lot we noticed this lovely sign!


We just paid $4.50 two days ago! I guess this is what you get for going on a Holiday :) Got the car parked actually a great spot along the sidewalk and off we went for some hours of fun!

Some fun pics from the day at Beach:

                                           Life couldn't be any better
                                           Kai loves finding seaweed!
                                           Ashley stayed in the water the whole time

After more hours than Scott thought we were staying :) We took off to go on the other side to Balboa Island to get Chocolate Covered Banana's. Since we paid so much for parking we decided to walk over to the ferry. 



Well nobody told us when we got on the Ferry that there was a 2 hour wait on the other side to come back over :( Live and Learn! We had a great day though and that is all that matters :) Making memories as a family.

We got home and Scott noticed that Thunderstorms in the mountains and the deserts so off we went for some fun Storm Chasing! 




We did see lots of fireworks in the sky on the way home from storm chasing ! The kids were fast asleep though after our fun filled 4th :)
