Laguna Beach and Arizona

We spent a whole week in sunny Laguna Beach, far away from snowy Utah.
From our balcony we had this incredible view of the ocean:

The flower fields in Carlsbad, CA were in full bloom....acres of color!

Next we drove to Arizona where we spent the weekend with Kami, Erik and Bryson.
Here's Bryson blowing out the candle on his dalmation b-day cake....

Dalmation colored balloons after being rescued from the ceiling fan... uh oh!

"PURA VIDA" Costa Rica is the PLACE!

The start of our zipline canopy adventure

Getting the hang of it....just lean to the left and don't let go!

It's really fun, if you just don't look down!

Conchel Beach....hard to get there, but worth the drive!

Bert, finishing up a vigorous day of reading by the pool.

Amazing sunsets every evening.

We had a great time visiting Jon, Shaunae and the kids in Manassas. The weather was extremely cold so we didn't do much outside other than drive to Washington D.C. to take pictures of the capitol with all the flags being put up for the inauguration on the 20th. We also took drive-by pictures of the White House and some of the monuments. I'm glad we've been to the capitol often enough that we didn't feel the need to stop and see it all again!

Corynn had eye surgery on Thurs. and was in the hospital most of the day. Everything went well and she came home with a goodie bag full of treats from the nurses because she was such a good patient. Good job, Corynn!
We spent a fun morning at Chucky Cheese's playing all the video games and taking pictures of Ashton, Corynn & Taison who had the whole place to themselves because we got there right when it opened.
We helped paint the upstairs bathroom a pretty shade of green and put up new accessories giving it a brand new look. Fun!

Sunday was blessing day for cute little Tyler. He listened to all the words his dad said with great interest. At least it seemed like he did!

Great trip.....five days wasn't long enough, however.

We had a great Ellsworth family reunion last weekend in Park City, UT! It was the first time in 8 years our whole family was together (well-- almost! Taylor and Josh were at soccer camp in Ohio) But that's right.... we had Mom and Dad, Julie and Roger plus 4 kids, Jeff and Jean plus 5 kids, Kathy and Dave plus 5 kids, Craig and Jeanna plus 3 kids, Rob and Jenn plus 2 kids, Jon and Shaunae plus 3 kids (well.... 3 and 1/2) and Erik and Kami plus their 1. We had a PARTY! Rob and Jenn brought their boat from CA and we had a great weekend out on the lake!We also celebrated Dad's 70th Birthday!!! Happy Birthday dad! We made a scrapbook full of pictures of his life and each of us kids made our own pages with pictures and our own memories we had with dad. We stayed up sat night having cake and ice cream and hearing all about dad's childhood and his experiences growing up. It was a great night! Thank you Mom and Dad for putting together such a great family reunion! We had a BLAST!
