Long Beach Trip

We had a blast this past week. It was a last minute trip but so fun. We went to Long Beach and stayed with my uncle Richard, who was a gracious host. We had alot of fun with Mike and Summer and their little family. It was fun to see all the sights and visit with family. Here are some highlights:

Driving up to Signal Hill that overlooks downtown Long Beach,



Friday night we headed to downtown disney. It was alot of fun. There were music performers and fun shops to look in. We ate with Summer and Mike at Rainforest Cafe. Ethan loved the Disney store. He was hilarious. He just kept pulling things off the shelf saying "mine, mine" I don't know how we managed it, but we walked out of the store with nothing. Jim promised him some bubble gum if he put everything back.







We hung out at the Beach all day on Friday. My cousin Summer and her kids came with us. We had a blast!























Richard lives right across the street from Cal State Long Beach. They have a beautiful Japanese garden on campus. It was alot of fun. The kids loved feeding the Koi Fish
