We started the day out by finding a nearby church to attend Sacrament Meeting at. It also happened to be Fast and Testimony meeting. It was kinda funny when this guy got up and made from of Utah Mormons......... i was thinking, "um, with all the visitors you have to this ward you MIGHT not want to say that.."
Then sweet Tianna insisted on getting up.
She said, "Hi. I'm Tianna Mary Peacock from Santaquin Utah. I know the Church is true and my family loves me. I hope you have a good day. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. " It was so cute and so sweet. She absolutely loves baring her testimony and she could care less what ward we are attending. Just last month she bore it in my brother's ward the day they blessed Bridger. It makes a mama proud!
Okay, off my tangent: That afternoon we spent our time at Newport Beach. (Thanks to Luke and his GPS for getting us all around Orange County)
The beach was gorgeous! The weather was perfect! I forgot what month it was! It must have been "cold" for the locals but to us it was warm and sunny.
The first thing we did was have a picnic. More of it went to the seagulls than I care to admit. but the girls enjoyed feeding them and then chasing them away.
We searched for seashells all the way across the beach to the pier. Tianna couldn't take 3 steps without stopping to dig in the sand.
It was magical watching those 2 cuties experience the ocean for the first time. Technically, Tianna went to Hawaii and spent a lot of time at beaches, but she was only 6 months old so it doesn't really count. They both LOOOOOOVED it! It was one of the most educational day we've ever had!
As we walked back from the pier we went to the water's edge for the girls to see the ocean close up. well SOME Of us only went to the edge. Adelia felt like she needed to run to Catalina Island. It wasn't long before she had to be stripped of her wet jeans and run around in just a soggy diaper.
They saw a pelican up close and personal (so personal as it flew over Luke's head he felt the wings brush him on the head and when he landed right by the fisherman who had just made a catch, I got poked in the bum by his wing.) We also saw star fish, crabs, and all sorts of other amazing creatures!
I wish we lived closer to an ocean! It was an amazing day!
