We just went on vacation and had a great time. The first part was with Frankie's family. We went to Newport and stayed at their timeshare with them like we do every year. It's so gorgeous down there! This was my first vacation with a baby (Bradley was already one by the time we took him on vacation.) so that was a new experience. Landon's teething so the first day he was really cranky and I just stayed at the room while they went to the beach. But besides that and him not sleeping too well (the Pack N Play just isn't the same as his crib, ya know.) he was really good. After 4 days there we went down to San Clemente where my mom, Riley, Dustin, Leah and kids were camping at the beach. It was soooo much fun down there! We were only there 2 days, but next time we'll stay the whole time. We don't have a tent so Bradley slept one night with my mom and Riley while we went back to Newport for the night. I unsuccessfully tried to get Frankie to get a tent before we went. But after having his first s'more he was convinced that we need a tent. That's my man!!! Grandma, Grandpa, my dad, Lisa and kids, Julie and Mark and kids all came to visit too. It was so much fun to visit with everybody. Well here's a bunch of pictures from vacation. Enjoy!
This is Landon hanging out while we were on Balboa Island just being his cute self.
Bradley got all tatted up. He's such a thug! Haha!
I told you he's crazy! He was flexing his muscles to make the gecko move. That takes talent!
This is Bradley checking out little ocean creatures on Balboa Island.
He wanted to hold them like you can at SeaWorld, but you could only "touch" them. He restrained himself well.
I just love Landon in his little hoodie! He couldn't take his eyes off of Bradley who was at my side.
He was so determined to get his socks off. Just look at the concentration!
Once again Bradley flexing his muscles. 
This was Landon's first day at the beach. This was his first look at the ocean and he was AMAZED!!! This is my favorite picture. I just love the back of his head. It's so cute!
He couldn't take his eyes off the ocean.
Wearing Grandpa Farina's hat. All he needs here is a gold chain and a bowl of pasta! My little Guido!
Teething!
I love this picture. This was our last day in Newport and Bradley was SO sad to say goodbye to his sand crabs. But he still smiled for the picture! He's so cute!
First day at San Clemente, playing in the sand.
So sleepy at the beach.
Run! The wave might get you! It's only 20 ft. behind you! Just kidding buddy.
Paige, Bradley, and Karley goofing around in the back of Dustin's truck.
This one's for you Dustin. I was trying to take a picture of the camp spot and Dustin was trying to shake water out of his ear at the same time. Or it could be a PSA that if you drink too much Pepsi, this could happen to you. Haha!
Julie brought us yummy dinner. It was penne pasta with Sonny's sauce (the BEST little restaurant in San Clemente), salad with Sonny's dressing and bread . Yum! We all know vacation's all about the food, right Jer?
Luckily Landon got all tuckered out so I could enjoy some quality campfire time and s'mores. 
Mom, Riley, and Frankie's backside.
Chatting around the campfire.
Different angle.
Bradley climbing the big tree at the camp spot.
All the kids gathered around to tell ghost stories and jokes. Chad is quite the story teller! By the look on Karsten's face it must have been a good one! The kids couldn't get enough.
My mom ran a 5K on the beach with Dustin. She took 2nd place in her division and got a medal. GO MOM!!! I don't remember what Dustin placed. Sorry bro, or I'd give you a shout out.We had a great time and can't wait for next year!!! Hope you enjoyed the pictures.
