Tanner's Home!

Between summer and fall term at BYU Tanner came home for a little visit.  We picked him up from the airport and drove straight to the beach for a little uninterrupted family time. 

Once there we all donned our Team USA gear (aka: Tanner’s) and watched the Olympics.

We went to see Jake the alligator man and get McKenna hermit crabs.  She was sad she didn't get them last year when we were at the beach.

It is always fun to tool around beach towns and check out their novelty shops.  We made Tanner take the Love Meter test, just to make sure his college social life was under control.  We really had nothing to worry about based upon the results.  

We happened to be in Longbeach the same time as Scooby and the Gang.  We figured we could act as their stunt doubles in the next movie.  What do you think?

Our beach time consisted of reading, flying kites and building fortresses to keep out the incoming waves.

McKenna and Dad also took the canoe out on the little lakes behind the cabin we were staying in. They had a great time until they had to wade through goose poop to get out.

It was a nice opportunity to have Tanner, the local celebrity, to ourselves for a bit before we hit the ‘Couv and all his normal distractions.
