Jarom and Spencer helping Naomi to get going on the manual quad where she has to put it into gears...always a tricky scenario when learning for sure! Then Brooke's "Life's a Beach."
Michael and Ashley on the motorcycle.
Matt and I, Matt was a little taken back on how cold the ocean water initially was, not so macho in the ocean...too funny! It took a little getting used to.
Sunday was a more laid back day for relaxing at the beach with the family after we had church.
Saydee and Elizabeth just could not get ENOUGH of the BEACH SAND and WAVES! Josh on the other hand, you'll have a hard time getting that kid off his QUAD once he gets on!
Shelby, Noelle, Spencer and Jarom on the beach.
Sadyee, Elizabeth and mom enjoying the ocean front.
We learned through our stay that the weekend isn't the best time to ride the dunes especially right after COVID-19 closures! Friday and Saturday were so packed and busy but once Sunday afternoon rolled around and Mon-Tues it was so nice, we owned the sand and had it all to ourselves to ride and enjoy! The first day Matt ended up making friends with a local who owned property for us to park our trailers and to access the dunes on the outskirts through his back property since there was literally no room for us to park anywhere! Leave it to Matt to find a way tho!
No surprise this is a photo of Brooke showing off her flexibility skills.
Sunday Breakfast vibes.
We rented a nice home where there was ample room for our fam, it felt like home away from home and it was very comfortable!
Bre at the wheel.
Bre and Andrew.
Riding into the Sunset for Miss Bre.
After this, Bre and Andrew took off to Utah with Lake Powell with his family.

All for one and one for all. family fun...
Saydee and Josh.
Josh. Well, we sure have had a good time getting outdoors this season with the family through all of this crazy covid stuff! Ellie didn't make this trip since she had work and school so that was kinda sad but we all had a great time and made many memories.
 

Summer Fun and Babysitting with Friends

August 2020
 Saydee had a fun play date with her friend Adalynn and her little sister Brawnlyn from our ward.
Brooklynne begged for them to come over so that she could babysit this little girl for the day (seriously the most low key best behaved little baby girl ever.) They girls were able to play and Brooke watch Brawnlyn for the day while their parents painted their home. I let her watch her solo, with changing diapers, fixing meals, playing, putting her down for a nap, making bottles- the full nine yards! As easy as a babysitting job as it was, at the end of the day Brooke said, "wow...mom I don't know how you did it with all of us." Brooke learned that babies have lots of needs regardless of how easy they are to tend to! I think she had her fill of babysitting for a bit :)
