Laguna Beach Sisters Reunion!!!

Mom, why don't we live here?
What if the sound of the fan was replaced by waves? I'm ok with that.
Ollie found a hidden treasure. This is probably the beach we came to the most as kids. We would always come through this and cross over a death defying gorge to get to the other beaches, where the Kelley initiation was done:) This involves jumping into a dark crevace of reef while being nearly killed by the oncoming waves. A true test of courage indeed. One day Oliver, you too will join.
The view from our balcony. I live to hear the waves from my house.

What a coincidence!
Chelsea and I, everyone says we are starting to look more and more alike:)
Amanda and sweet baby Katherine, I love these girls!!!
We got some really cool stuff from the Sawdust Festival. It's cool to see people's passions through art and they can do what they really love.

Just a cute picture in Balboa Islan. This was a very fun day.
Me, Laura, and Chels in front of the beach below our place. If you haven't been to the beaches at the Montage resort, you should. When we were kids, we went here when it was just a mobile home park and we stayed at a friend of my Dad's. It was called "Treasure Island". So now they have a small park called Treasure Island in memorial to once mobile home park people loved there. I do have to say the resort is a little nicer. Laguna is getting so touristy but I still love it.
Shopping in Balboa.
These trolley's run all summer for free around Laguna. They are so darling and old fashioned. It was one of my favorite perks there. Ollie loved the fact that he wasn't in a seat belt and could basically throw himself out the window.

My mom planned this wonderful trip and it couldn't have gone better, it was SO MUCH FUN! What was even better was that Oliver got to stay with his Facer grandparents and then his grandpa Kelley so I got some free time to hang with my sisters. He came for the last few days which was really fun cause he is totally a beach babe and was soaking it all in. I have a great story about Oliver's stay with my Dad. Let's mention first that I specifically told my Dad not to cut Oliver's hair, cause I know he wanted to and I knew it would be a disaster. So when I went to get Ollie out of the car upon their arrival, I noticed his sad hair. Dad had not listened. He tried to cut his hair and was surprised that a year and a half old child puts up a struggle during such a task. So needless to say, Oliver's hair was quite embarrassing and needed to be fixed. So we took him somewhere and a hairy sucker later, he had a grown up boy haircut. He looks so big now! When Ryan saw him the next week he couldn't believe how big he looked. So it cute and now I see what Dad's plan was all along. What a rascal.
