One last picnic at the beach

I know I posted about a trip to Corona Del Mar once already but with Mike and Jen in town, we went again. We ate some KFC and Togo's for dinner and then took family pictures. The girls first swooned over the new baby Collin. (Note me in the corner wrestling Ethan.)


The guys chatting with themselves.


And me wrestling Ethan.


A game of Ring-Around-The-Rosies, one of Kate's favorite games.


They all fall down, except the kids.


Which of course turns into the game Tackle-Dan.


And when Dan can take no more, the game becomes Tackle-Mike.


But Mike got even.


We got several cute pictures of the kids. Anna in a cute pose.


Kate showing off her attitude.


The girls together.



The proud Grandma with baby Collin.


And just to keep things fair, a picture with all her grandkids.


Greg took the best pictures on his camera but here we are.


Kate picked up the hat, put it on like this, and said "Take a picture of me."


Not to be left out.


Cousins. Getting all of them to smile and look at the camera at the same moment that the picture is taken is very difficult. 

We really will miss California. It is so pretty there at the beach and with the sunset. We will also miss the family all being around so close (even more so of course).
