We went to Costa Mesa, California to see Uncle Mason at the end of May. First time flying with an eleven month old and a six month pregnant mommy!!! Chase was a great flyer! He never had any problems and even managed to stay pretty calm during a re-route and delay on the way home. It was a great trip even though Daddy had to stay home to coach baseball. Chase loved the beach and the ocean!
Made it to Costa Mesa, now for a quick nap on the way to see Uncle Mason!
While we were shopping Chase took his first steps ever with Mason. Milestone in the Baby Carters store in California!
Mom, Dad, and I were ordering some beverages and Chase was fussy so Mason took him outside for awhile. Dad got this pic without them knowing. One of my favorite photos ever. A little Uncle/Nephew bonding moment caught on camera!
Mason's Apartment...which is at the end of a narrow driveway. That seems to be the common trend there. Not sure I would like driving in reverse all that way to get out everyday!
Newport Beach
Two summers straight of being pregnant and this is the last time I go through that!
Wish we had flowers like this in Kansas!
His very first touch of sand was a success. He was throwing it everywhere so we had to move to the harder sand!
We were all pretty jealous of Mason's tan!
Chase smiled and laughed the whole time he was in the water!
Of course Mason had to conquer the bigger waves with Chase!
Chase is in the Future Jayhawk Program and this summer they sent the members a cardboard Jayhawk to take with them wherever they may go. They are suppose to take pictures and send them to the Alumni Association. Of course getting a normal pictures was impossible!
As long as you are a baby a shower on the beach is the way to go!
Chase would wake up in California at 4:30 in the morning (6:30 in GB). Thankfully Grandpa was on the same schedule so they could go explore while Mom and Grandma slept!
Mason works at a Dog Sitting Company so we got to take a tour!
Day #2 on the beach!
We thought we were pretty far from the waves...guess we should have been paying attention to the water and not the baby. Maybe our photographer could have warned us!
Had to include this picture due to the background action!
Wouldn't it be the life to play in the ocean all day and nap on the beach???
We found this Park to spend some time at before heading back to Kansas.
Had to wake sleeping boy up to enjoy it.
What kind of tree is this on the left?...A cell tower!
These were the strangest looking birds. They looked like evil geese.
It was a short trip but a great time with Uncle Mason. Next time we will stay longer...and have 2 kiddos along for the ride (flight)!
