Beach Trip

 Another item off our summer to-do list was a trip to the beach.  We've had 100+ temps in the valley so the beach was the place to be.  It was chilly there!  That didn't stop the boys from getting in the water and having some fun.

Hurrican Harbor - almost

We tackled one of our summer to-dos last week by using our passes to Hurricane Harbor.  We didn't check the weather (who really does during the summer in SoCal?) and headed out for a day in the water.  Of course, there were dark skies and then thunder and lightning!  Then rain!  What a memory!

Here comes the storm.....

Highlights

The truth is.....I took way too many pictures and the thought of trying to organize them just overwhelmed me.  So, in my attempt to summarize our trip to Kansas, I am going to try and hit the highlights.

Our 4th of July

The elder Hubbards came to see us from Apple Valley and we had such a fun-packed day!  We hit the dollar theater, went to the swimming pool and had a cookout and then some of us ventured out to see fireworks.

Please don't take my picture.....

Relaxing

 We've had an outdoor mall for some time now but we finally got over there on a Friday night to see everything!  Our new Apple store was the favorite of the evening.  We found an outdoor seating area with a firepit and I grabbed some quick photos.

Cameron on the xbox building things

We've really enjoyed our summer so far.  Our favorite days are the ones where we just relax, without anything to do.  Ethan has completed four weeks of bass lessons, Cameron has been connecting with school friends on xbox, and Ashton has been doing a little of everything!  Here are some highlights:
