On July 15th Chad's Grandpa Noel lost his fight with Leukemia. He was a wonderful, kind, loving person and very influential in Chad's life. He will be greatly missed. I'm glad that we were able to go to California and celebrate Noel's long, full life with all of his friends and family. <3
To remember Noel, the family took a sailboat out to put his ashes in the ocean in front of his old home in Laguna.
It was really beautiful and very fitting. We love you and will miss you Noel!
The sailboat ride was nice, and the babies fell asleep right away due to the rocking.
While in California we were able to visit with lots of family and spend some time on the beach. Ella and her cousin Salvador had lots of fun playing in the water and sand!
The weather was so nice and we tried to enjoy the beach as much as we could :)
We also celebrated Chad's mom's birthday while we were there. We went to the Sawdust Festival and had a great time looking at all the art and jewelry.
We also went to the Orange County Fair and Ella got to play with some Monarch butterflies!
We stopped by Grandma Sylvia's and Grandpa Don's for dinner one night and had a wonderful time visiting with them.
