Well, we went to Longbeach with my parents yesterday. We love Longbeach! You can drive out on the sand and it's usually the perfect place for flying kites, window shopping and eating great food. This has become a tradition to go to Longbeach so this was our 3rd annual summer trip. Each trip to Longbeach has given us many hilarious memories, and this one did not disappoint. We drove into town car packed with kites, buckets, shovels, chairs, a canopy to protect us from a full day in the sun, a picnic, swimsuits, towels... and the list goes on. The town was packed with tourists...this was our first sign that no on was at the beach. After a delicious stop at the bakery we ventured out to the very desolate beach. We opened the car doors and instantly knew why we were the only ones out there! Dad and Jer's hats blew off, Tanner got blown over, sand blew in mom's eye and the door slammed shut onto my leg. Needless to say we were all back in the car within 3 minutes.
Despite the wind and rain, we still enjoyed our time in Longbeach. We did some window shopping, Tanner rode the marry-go-round and we all got some ice-cream... and yes, Max LOVES ice-cream! Tanner loved his ice-cream too... he wanted cotton candy ice-cream... yummm! Max and I shared a blueberry cheesecake cone! Look how excited he is!
Not quite the same as a picnic on the beach, but at least it wasn't windy in our front yard!

Missy, what on earth!? Why are you guys so fun? I swear you just have one fun adventure after another. We definitely need to quit being so boring I tell you.
P.S. Awhile ago Mike said something about how Jeremy is the only one who keeps Elder's Quorum afloat because he does so much of the work and that he hoped he would still be in with whoever the new pres. is. I was like, "well, I'm sure he'll have someone good." and Mike was like, "Are you crazy, NO ONE is as good as Jeremy." Anyway, he seems to think he's the greatest thing to have ever lived. :)
Oh, Sis! What a funny little day trip? Seems that everyone got injured on this 3 minute outing except Max! Sheesh, nothing wrong with a picnic in the front yard, though! Funny!
I love the pictures and the fun story. If nothing went wrong on vacations and day trips, what would we have to talk about.
You painted a perfect picture. I felt like I was there watching the events of the beachtrip happen. Were you calm? I bet the kids had lots of sunscreen on even in that weather.
