Santa Cruz Family Reunion

We had such a fabulous time in Santa Cruz for our family reunion! It was so wonderful that I keep thinking I want to move there :) It was beautiful scenery, beautiful weather, and we were surrounded by beautiful people (my family)

We suffered through some family pictures... the grand kids were pretty cute in the tie dyed shirts they made there.
Our family




Ashton LOVED boogie boarding during this vacatoin. He would spend hours out there boogie boarding with his Nana, Grandpa, Aunts, Uncles and Dad. 
I think this captures one of Ashtons most genuine smiles. He is a tough kid to get a good smiling picture of.




 My sister and her adorable daughter Macie...






Mazzi enjoyed watching the sea lions out on the Santa Cruz pier. Tera liked petting the huge pelicans 


 My grandma Bickle was able to join us for a few days of the reunion. It was nice to see her. She always makes me laugh, and reminds me where I get my sarcasm from :)

We played some minute-to-win-it games on the beach for an activity. It was so fun watching my competitive family do silly things and fight over who won!




 The last night everyone but me went to Santa Cruz boardwalk and went on the rides. I choose to rest my feet and read a book by the beach. I actually really missed everyone though and was a little bummed I decided not to go, though am sure it was the right decision for my body. The kids had fun, but Ashton was talked into going on a very scary free fall ride, and he was crying by the end of it... he preferred this mini version of the ride. We had a great time though and are so glad we were able to go and to be surrounded by family.
