Since Covid hit we couldn’t vacation this summer so we decided to rent a beach house and stay local. Our time at the beach house happened to coincide with Jeff’s 50th birthday! I decided to throw him a surprise birthday party with family.
I had help from family members to make it happen and keep it a surprise and Jeff was truly surprised and loved having everyone there.
We had dinner and played games and did a roast for everyone had an item that represented a funny story about Jeff. He has lots of them!
Cheri‘s twin boys Jack and Luke are getting so big compared to the last time we saw them.
The patio is the perfect place for s’more’s and to hang out.
Everyone had a fun time sharing their funny and embarrassing stories about Jeff.
Kenny and Perry couldn’t be there in person but they pre-recorded their stories.
We enjoyed our time at the beach and got to try out smash ball. The weather was nice but the water was pretty cold. There was a storm somewhere that was making the water much colder than normal for this time of year.
One of my favorite times was our game nights at the end of the day! We staggered having family stay with us so we got to enjoy each group while they were there.
One of the days we decided to go down and do some whale watching!
The boat had reduced capacity and you had to wear masks but we had a great time.
We were able to see some of the nice houses in Balboa and we got to see whales and dolphins. All my pictures are on video so I didn’t post them.
Later in the week we had Cheri and her girls and some of Steve’s family stay with us. The kids had a lot of fun together and loved having their own game table.
Cousin time is Always the best time whether you’re young or old.
The Taylor’s left during the week so that they could do work and school. When they came back the next weekend they were engaged!
Taylor had taken her up to Joshua tree to propose. When they came back to the beach house they wanted to show us the pictures of the comet that they saw. They put it on the big screen of the TV and as they scroll through the pictures they had this picture with her ring! We were surprised and happy. I didn’t know he was going to propose this week. We are so excited and thrilled for them. They are planning to get married in July 2021.
The last night at the beach house we had Savanna (Jacobs friend) come and hang out with us. We were so excited for the Taylor’s and enjoyed our last night there.
For last day we went and rented kayaks and paddle boards and kayaked in the harbor.
It was a perfect and to a nice trip.
