California happened

Yeah.  California happened.  I never blogged about it because..  A) I didn't take any pictures because on the second day we were there, my camera fell out of my pocket into the ocean.  B) I just plain didn't get to it.  So, I wanted to document that it DID in fact happen.  We left August 1st and stayed a week.  It was really such a fun trip.  My bro Randy hooked us up with our hotel.  It was right on the beach and had a great pool and two hot-tubs.  The funnest thing we did while we were there was went deep sea fishing.  I was one of maybe 4 girls on the boat, which I think held about 35 people!  But I was happy because I caught fish :)  This pic below was taken with Adam's I-Phone, and he's not big on taking pic's, so it was pretty much the only picture we have from the trip.  Oh well! 
Ella stayed with my sister Amy and her girls Abbey and Sophie.  They took SUCH good care of her and sent me pic's every day.  Adam and I missed her like C-R-A-Z-Y!!!  But I'm not gonna lie, it was heaven sleeping in for 6 days straight :)  Below are the pic's that Amy sent me while we were away.  Pretty sure Ella didn't even notice we were gone with all the fun she was having ;)

Yep, even I can catch fish!!!  It was amazing to be on the ocean all day.  I did have to take a few naps, that rocking really puts a girl to sleep!

Amy managed to get a pig-tail in Ella's hair!!! This was her first ever pig-tail!


Amy was nice enough to make Ella green smoothies ;)  Girl loves her green smoothies!


Sophie helped with nap times :)

Can you tell that she loves swimming?  Anything that involves being outside, really.  Thank you SOOOOO much Skinner girls for taking such great care of Ella!!  She had an amazing time :)
