California Baby

We had soooo much fun in California! We went out for our friend Darrin's wedding and stayed a week to see family and friends (we actually drove the whole way and McKayla was amazing...she just slept or played the entire time). We started off in Carlsbad & San Diego...the weather was sooo nice and the wedding was gorgeous! McKayla went to the beach for her first time and she went swimming at the hotel for her first time (she loved both). She loved splashing in the pool, but couldn't figure out why when she splashed the water hit her face :-). We headed up to LA on Sunday and spent the rest of the week there. We had a great time hiking,going to the beach, and relaxing. Grandma Johnson, Kim and I introduced McKayla to the wonderful world of Tiffany,Neiman,Louis Vuitton and more while Todd went deep sea fishing with his dad and cousin. McKayla started making all sorts of new sounds this week and we have determined she is the BIGGEST flirt ever (seriously we got comments everywhere we went). She got to meet her cousins and her Uncle Allan, Aunt Kim and Uncle John for the first time too! We had an amazing time and so enjoyed spending time as a family...it was REALLY hard to come home (other than we knew Beam and Sadie were waiting for us).
