Beautiful

Even though I complain about the cost of living in California, I really do feel so fortunate that we live in such a beautiful place.  We're trying to take advantage while we're living with my parents (like date nights!) by doing things we don't usually do as often, even though we only live a few miles from here!

My parents have a little hill in front of their house, so we've been climbing it with Ella- you get to see the most beautiful sunsets and views!

Pre-sunset...

During sunset (can you see Fashion Island and the ocean in the middle?!)...

Post-sunset...

We are also trying to take advantage of being so close to the beach (and I did not adjust these photos, the sky really looked like that- such a beautiful day)!

And of course a ride on the ferry!  It was Everett's first time.  Getting on the ferry...

How daddy and Everett rode the ferry...

Ella and mommy sat on the bench...

My favorite pic of the day that somehow captured rainbow sun rays...

We've been fitting in lots of birthday parties too!  Here is Ella at Karina's party with some of her school friends. :)
