Christmas Tree Debate

I'm sure we're not ready for the real vs fake discussion.

We spent our debate time discussing where the tree will be located. We also had a difficult time convincing the kids that Christmas would still come even if our tree didn't look exactly like the same tree that we get every year.

(By "kids", I mean "Rob's inner child".)

Beach Trip

Beach Trip - October

We went to Newport for our idea of a perfect vacation ... and the empty beaches made an awesome trip even more "awesomer".

We stayed on Balboa Island which is a tradition Rob's great grandparents started.

Here's our routine everyday.....

......go to the beach to enjoy waves

..........and practice / invent some sports

......... try to catch any kind of wildlife

....... and continue until the sun went down
