dana point

{the kent family}

the family vacation this year was to a beach house in dana point.

everyone else was there for a week, but sadly we could only come for the second half (stupid work).

here is the whole group together at ruby's for dinner the night we finally got there!

yes,  they are all extremely good looking people, who also can put down the food like champs.

 {the beach}

to say it was awesome having our backyard be the beach would be an understatement.

we LOVED it.

hours were spent playing wave tag with presley and the other kiddos, boogie and paddle boarding

(mostly by the men after we witnessed lauren be demolished by a wave), sunbathing, frisbee, etc.

it provided hours of free entertainment and a workout all in one!

which trust me, we needed after all of the incredible food and mass amount of treats we ate.

{tyler's birthday}

it seems like it's always someone's birthday during the family vacation.

but who wouldn't want to spend their birthday with their whole fam damily?!

tyler turned 27 and is officially halfway through med school.  very impressive, i know.

 {dana point harbor}

the boys went golfing one morning and daw was sweet enough to only golf 9 holes instead of 18,

so we took advantage of a the freetime and went to dana point harbor for lunch and a change of beach.

i'm currently laughing for the 1000th time about the seagull pooping right on dawson's back.

i literally saw the bird drop his load, watched it float through the air in slow motion, and plop on his neck.

he might not have found it as humerous at the time, but i found it absolutely hilarious

{a day at the ritz}

all us girls lucked out by getting the best, most generous mother-in-law in the world.

she sure knows how to show the girls a good time too!

diana took us out for the afternoon to get facials and massages.

oh yes, i might just be bold enough to say it was the best part of the trip.

{nieces and nephew}

i love all those little kiddos so freaking much!!!

they more than fill my need to have children so you can thank them for us not having kids for the next 10 years.

i mean, there's just no way i could reproduce kids that cute so why even try???

it might be hard to tell since i never got great pictures of them because they were constantly playing and on the go, but just trust me on this one.

{sunset}

the last night of the trip we were lucky enough to get a gorgeous sunset.

although it made it even more depressing that it was the last night.

(please also take note that i have the most gorgeous sister-in-laws)

it's a shame i only had my iphone to take these excessive amount of pictures,

but i hope you can tell how great of a trip it was,
and more importantly how FABULOUS we think our family is.
