Balboa Island Vacation

We just returned from our week-long 'staycation' on Balboa Island.  We had such a blast living on the island for a week.  It was an ideal spot for the girls at this age because there was lots to do and it only took us 30 minutes to get there (with a ton of stuff)!!  We spent most of our time cruising around the island, boating, visiting the beach and penninsula, and just hanging out with family.  My parents and my brother and his girlfriend stayed with us in a giant red house on Garnet street.  It was a couple houses from the beach and we met some great people next door with a little girl named Addi, who Grace played with every day.  Mike's family joined us for a few adventures as well.  A very memorable and nice week for our family!  I did not take as many pics as I would have liked, but here are the best....

The girls loved boating, especially Grace of course

A heavy load for mommy :)

Cami did not like the life vest that practically consumed her.  Grandma & Papa tried to cheer her up.

Grace and her new friend Addi, first thing in the morning.
