The beach resort had a small 4 lane bowling alley so we decided to give it a go. We first headed to the park nearby and let the girls played while we waited for it to open. Angel is getting very brave with what she will attempt to try and play on now....makes mom a bit nervous sometimes!! Then it was off to bowl. We had one lane with the bumpers up so Angel could play and then another lane that my dad, Pepe, Megs, Alli, Michaela, Jason and I played on. I wasn't sure if Angel was going to enjoy it or not....SHE LOVED EVERY SECOND and played the entire time!!! We taught her to walk up to the line, spread her feet, place the ball and push hard....and she did great!!! She was so funny....she would watch it every time and wait to see how many pins she knocked down....and when she would get them she would jump in the air and cheer and then give everyone high fives!! So cute. She was definitely our little cheerleader and would do the same thing when we did well. She knew which ball was hers and by the end of the time was doing everything all on her own...including finding and carrying her own ball. Maybe we have a little bowler on our hands.....which that gene does seem to run in the Hartsell side of the family. Jason and I had not been bowling in six years and were not sure how we would do. I was having some great luck and doing quite well......even better than my hubby until the pressure was on and he started catching up. But great ending.....he scored a strike at the end of the game and ended up only being one point behind me and had another bowl to go. So I was joking (not really) and yelled "Gutter Ball" and guess what? It was!! So I ended up beating him by 1 point!!! We both broke 100 but my dad still came in first!! We need some more practicing!!! It was a lot of fun and we will have to take Angel again soon!!!

Beach Fun
The girls loved the water....Emma especially loved walking into the water and then running away from the waves....they both got their pants soaked!! Angel enjoyed finding shells and treasures on the beach and then spent most of her time playing in the sand. Jason was trying to build a big sandcastle but the girls had fun knocking them down and sticking feathers in it! It was so neat to see my parents and my grandparents with my girls...what special memories they will have!! We were laughing really hard because Angel's pants kept dropping lower and lower but she just kept on playing! They would have stayed for hours except Emma (who was drenched from going in the cold water) was shivering and ready to get warm. Such a peaceful spot and hope to get back one day soon!!

Pacific Beach Vacation
After the wedding festivities, we headed off for a little vacation with the remaining family members. My dad had rented an Oceanside cottage at Pacific Beach Naval Resort. So my parents, grandparents, sister Alli & friend, my family and sister Megs and Albert all enjoyed a few days of fun activities, relaxation and recuperation. While the weather was a bit cooler than we would have "liked" we lucked out that it wasn't rainy and yucky the whole time we were there. It was so beautiful, quiet and peaceful and had lots to do. The girls loved the huge backyard to run and play in and mostly feed the seagulls all the remaining bread and french toast we had. Dad and Jason tried to get the kites to fly, Alli and Michaela enjoyed several COLD runs into the ocean, we found LOTS of sand dollars on the beach, the girls LOVED getting in the water and mostly building sandcastles (as did hubby!), and mostly just being together. The complex has a beautiful exercise room, hot tub room (it was HOT!), game room, restaurant and bar, gift shop, coffee shop, and a fun 4 lane bowling alley plus lots more. Wish hubby was still military so we could take advantage of this little perfect getaway more often. The cottage was beautiful, clean, spacious and stocked with everything you would need! If you have a chance to go, take it!!! Thanks dad, it was a great getaway! Some cute pics and videos to follow!
