Vacation: Part 6

After Disneyland we headed to Newport Beach and Thursday morning to our nieces swim meet in California. Here are some pictures from the beach where we built a sand castle and made Brooklyn a mermaid tail out of sand.

We enjoyed our time at Mallory's swim meet on Thursday and our super proud of her. She just made the national swim team and we have never been able to see her swim yet so it was a great opportunity. We had a great time and Brooklyn cheered her on in a whisper.

Later Thursday afternoon we headed to Vegas and on Friday morning we headed up to Beaver, Utah for a camping trip with my dad and my brothers and sisters. We had a great time camping and enjoyed seeing all of our nieces and nephews unfortunately our camera battery died as soon as we got there so we have no pictures. We had a blast though and Brooklyn caught her first fish. She is so my girl.

On Sunday morning we packed up and headed back to Vegas. After Brad had a quick shower and repacked we headed to the airport and sent him home. Brooklyn and I spent the next week in Vegas visiting family. Her cousin Sydney gave her some swim lessons and we had a great 4th of July at Nellis Air Force base, but I will have more on that later.

It was a great vacation and awesome family time. We are super blessed and grateful we were able to spend all that time together.
