Southern California Trip

Russ had a work trip to Southern CA so the boys and I tagged along!

It was so much fun to see family, cool weather, and the beach!

Lucky boy got to play at a park on a private beach in Emerald Bay, Newport Beach, CA

our attempts to build a sandcastle were foiled by a high tide!

Russ and some buddies went scuba diving....

Rylan and I went on a sea shell hunt!

Russ saw many star fish and brought one up for us to check out..

We went to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, CA

Ren loved watching the fish....here he is watching the seals swim under him!

Rylan got to pet real live baby sharks!  They are bottom feeders so their mouth is low enough that they do not bite...

Lets set sail with Captain Rylan!

The smiley Kay brothers ;) 

The family at the aquarium

Ren pointing at all the fish as they swim by....

Rylan (still wet from his shark encounter!)

Happy Ren taking it all in!

Ren wanted to get down so badly...he has no idea he is not the same age as Rylan!

At Soka University by Russells Sister's house in Aliso Viejo....its a Sunday tradition to go for a walk around the beautiful campus!
