dance party, pizza and smores = perfection


Breathtaking view

Tonight we got to go and spend some time with Mike's sister, Stacy, Steve, Jack and Hayley at the Montage in Laguna Beach. We absolutely love it there! It feels like you are in Hawaii, when you are really in SoCal.  In the summer, Mike and I take the kids there for picnics and to play on the large grass areas overlooking the ocean. It is so beautiful.  It never disappoints and this night it didn't either. It was the most perfect weather of the week.  We played in the pool, ordered Z Pizza back to the room, had a dance party, saw dolphins from the balcony, and then thanks to Uncle Steve, went down to the firepits for some yummy smore making- delicious!! Thanks Holder family for a fun night!

Jack greeting his lil cousin- these two had so much fun together playing ball in the pool

Jack read to Maddy from his Alice in Wonderland book. He is such a good little reader and Maddy didn't want him to stop.  At one point, he said only a couple more pages okay Mad. So cute!
While Maddy and Jack read, Hayley and Brody played basketball on the balcony, while listening to Hay's Ipod. You better believe that Brody had already started the dance party!

Dance party in action! Jack had moves that I didn't know existed :). What a good little dancer!

The smore making begins! Steve had the brilliant idea of taping the short wooden sticks together to make a larger one- it worked! "Are you guys from around here?" Ha!

This precious babe loved her first smore making experience. She didn't care too much for the marshmallows but was into the chocolate and graham cracker part!

Brody got to have some graham crackers, and then pretty much chilled like this while enthralled by the fire. It was past his bedtime- can you tell?


The Holder Family cozy in their robes :)

Our happy, tired, smore lovin fam! I love nights like this-
 being with my family
in a beautiful place!

Oh wow! This looked AMAZING..... The fire, the S'mores, and the energy that must have been shared by all who took part. It's nights like this that bring smiles, love, and happiness to all. I look forward to the next "blog share"..... Smiles, smiles, and more and more smiles..YAY!

PS
I hope Mike didn't try any shortcuts to get to the Montage. Last time I was involved in his "short cut" I ended up in a traffic jam in the middle of the Victorville desert!
