    California Fun with Babies!

    Part of blogging for me
    is so that we can not
    only share inspirational
    ideas but also so you can
    get to know us too :)


    If you don't already know
    I have two daughters,
    Kristin and Stephanie,who
    also are part of
    Katies Rose Cottage ~

    They both have babies and
    this was our first
    adventure on an airplane
    with them ~
    Their daddies got to go too
    so that was fun!


    Alot of our family lives
    on the central coast of
    California so that is one
    of our very favorite places and
    where we headed ~


    They were excited to have the
    babies visit the beach since
    it is one of all of our
    favorite places to be ~
    The weather was chilly but
    it was still a beautiful
    and sunny day!
    We went to Avila Beach which
    we love!


    Ellie thought it was
    just the best thing ever!
    The swings were great...
    The sand was great!

    Isaac pretty much didn't like
    it at all! We are definitely
    going to have to teach
    him that it is fun!
    Mommies arms were great!

    This is my mom and I
    with Ellie ~

    My son in law James
    took the following pictures ~
    It is awesome having
    a photographer along :)

    Ellie loved swinging!

    Isaac loved hiking!

    This is my most favorite picture of all .... My mom and dad
    with their great grandbabies!!
    What a beautiful and precious
    picture!! I adore it!

    It was fun and there
    is so much more family
    and pictures but
    this is just a glimpse
    of our time there ~

    Thank you for visiting
    with us!

  • Love California!

    Love California!

    My husband and I got
    to spend a week at the
    central coast of California
    visiting with family ~
    That is where we are from
    so it is going home for us ~

    When I go back I often
    am amazed at what I took
    for granted when
    we lived there ~
    I just LOVE the beach and
    LOVE the mountains that
    you have to drive over
    to get to the beach ~

    This is Avila Beach
    where I spent so many
    days in the summers~
    I want to come spend
    a week just here now ❤

    Who would have thought
    that swinging on the beach
    could be the most fun ever!!

    I LOVE my mom and dad's house
    that is on a mountain that
    overlooks 3 towns ~

    I LOVE driving the winding
    roads seeing the beautiful
    wineries and vineyards that
    are everywhere ~

    Spending time in California
    with my family that lives
    there is just some
    of our best times!

    This is my sister, Kim
    and I in Morro Bay~

    Thankfully we get to
    go back a few times a year
    which is a blessing for sure!

    Lots of hugs,
    Lori
