Our last day in California we decided to hit the beach, no matter what the weather was like. We went to Newport again since we knew exactly how to get there. It worked out quite nicely. We spent a few hours playing in the water and the sand. I loved it. I think the beach is one of my favorite places to go. I love being out in the water and playing in the waves. This time we took Uncle Burke's old boogie boards he has. It's been quite a while since I have been on a boogie board, and I didn't catch that many waves. But I did manage to catch a few and it was a lot of fun! Greg and Karen both gave the boogie boards a shot and had a blast too. While I was in the water, Karen and Greg would switch off watching Kaleb and swimming. Kaleb enjoyed playing in the sand and just running around. He did like the water, although it was a little cold for him. His teeth were chattering, so we didn't keep him in the water too long. The water was really cold though! That first time the waves hit your feet, ahh, freezing! And making your way in deeper is bad too! Karen and I were going to run and just dive in to get it over with, but I chickened out. The waves hit me enough though, so after being in for a while I finally took a dive under a wave. After that it was warmer under the water than out! We didn't get a whole lot of sun on Friday, but we still had a great time.

After spending the day at the beach we went back to Uncle Burke's to get ready for the Angel's game and tailgate party. My cousin's husband, David, got us tickets for the Angel's vs. Padres game Friday night. It was great! The Angel's beat the Padres 11-6 {if I remember right}. Before the game David's co-workers threw a tailgate party with yummy hot dogs and salads and nachos and other snacky foods. It was fun to eat and visit with family before the game. We were able to see David & Lauriann with Kylie and Chad, and also Michelle and Ryan. It's been a long time since I've seen them, so it was really fun.
