The Allens come to California

We were so excited to spend some time with Matt's parents at the beach in San Diego a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately our immune systems were not as excited. The day after the Allens got here, Crew and I woke up in the middle of the night with the flu! Yuck! Of course, about 12 hours later Graham starting throwing up. Seriously not fun! Fortunately, this brutal bug was pretty short lived and only took us each about a day and a half to feel back to normal. So, just slightly under the weather, we still packed up and headed over to Encintas. So glad we did, even though it was definitely a lot more work!
 We had a great first day on the beach
 Becky will hate me for posting this but I thought it was so cute and she looks fantastic!
 Graham was still recovering the first day so he took a nice nap on the beach
 Pure bliss on that boy's face

 It turns out the Christian and Kim were in town for a wedding that same week so they came over with Maren and her boys the next day for a little time on the beach.
 Mmmm, donuts on the beach




 Just as Maren and Christian were leaving, Michael and Sarah's family arrived. Yea!!! More cousins!


While we did have a fantastic day on the beach, about 4 pm Matt started feeling queasy. Yep, it was his turn and he spent the rest of the afternoon and night in the hotel room. So not fun. After a long night we had a lazy morning and headed back to Temecula that afternoon for Matt to rest and recuperate. I unpacked, did laundry and repacked because the next day Matt's parents were picking the boys and I up and driving us back with them to Arizona!

No I'm not mad. I'm just glad it wasn't a closeup shot!! Even with all the sickness it was a fun trip with good memories. (I was thankful David and I never got your Bug.)
