Summer time and the livin's easy


      This is pretty much what our Summer has looked like. So much fun at the beach we
      we can hardly contain ourselves. Friends, water, food and the warm sunshine on our
      faces. Life does not get any better! Living 15 minutes from the Pacific Coast Highway
      is a very good thing. I hope you all are enjoying The Summer!!

    These pictures are adorable!! Looks like the perfect summer to me :) I lived in Huntington Beach and I also was about 15 min away from beach. Loved that!

    What a wonderful Summer! I haven't lived in California for many years-I still miss the beaches and the mountains. Your daughter is so adorable! Have a good weekend.

    That looks like an amazing way to spend summer! The sun, water, and sand never gets tiring does it?:)

    Great pictures! I grew up in SoCal and the one thing I really miss are the beaches. The beaches up here are super cold. I finally get to enjoy my summer next week...going to Disney World and then a cruise to the Bahamas.
