California

It was Steve and Steven Jr. birthday party so we all headed to California. It was so much fun! (aside from all the throwing up and diarrhea from Bentley, the poor kid got sick the night before we left) We finally got to see Steve and Carmen's new apartment, very cute!My dad even flew in from Texas. We went to the beach, had a picnic and went body surfing...oh wow, sooo awesome! Steph and I were surfing partners, we got so caught up in it, my brother chased us down and told us we were almost a mile away from our family. He told us to head back because my mom and older sister Emily wanted to try. I couldn't believe my ears! Two of the biggest chickens in my family were actually going to body surf...I had to see this. As we were walking out into the cold water with them Emily took one look at the waves and said "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!!!" she crossed her legs and started to pee her pants. That's my Emily! She even managed to get a sand burn as she tried to body surf in very shallow water in fear that the big waves would drown her. My mom did enjoy it, and had way better success than Emily. I had a really great time and hoped to visit again soon but my brother will be moving back to Saint George in December! Wahoo, see ya soon bro!
