So on Monday of Spring Break we went to Newport Beach. It was a beautiful day and we had a good time playing in the sand, Chris and I braved the COLD water, reading, talking and even a run in with a dead sea lion ( I know... very sad)
My wonderful parents! I hope I can look as great as they do when I am their age.
Chris and I enjoying the beach
Me, Grandma, and Chris. Grandma was a bit chilly (like usual) and we wanted to make sure she was protected from the sun, hence the towels
Paydan and my dad working on his sand "castle"... or more like PIT... I thought he might dig all they way to CHINA!
Here is a Seal we say swimming in the water, so cute!
Now, although this looks like a peaceful sleeping sea lion, he unfortunately is dead.
Earlier we had seen something out in the water which I just thought was someone's flippers. Well Chris was swimming and got talking to a guy on his surf board and they saw that the "flippers" we actually a sea lion's. He looked like he was struggling, but the surfer cautioned Chris, saying they can be very mean and not to get to close. Like a half hour later, we saw a group of people a little bit down the beach and it was the Sea Lion washed up on shore. It seemed as if he was sick and maybe even a little bit food deprived. It was quite sad, but it was neat to see a Sea lion up so close.

Amanda! This is Jessie (Lee) Miller from the Provo days:) how are you cute lady? i saw that you commented on my friend caitlin creer's blog, and so i stalked my way back to your blog. So fun seeing updates of your life! I noticed you guys are at school at Western, and my best friend and her little family are going there in August for dental school! She is adorable and fun just like you, so i think you guys would make great friends!! They are trying to figure out where they want to live right now and are leaning toward Rancho Cucamonga.Where do you guys live and do you like it? Send me a facebook message or email if you get a chance! I'd love to pick your brain on the area for her :)
I took my family to Newport Beach on that day too! Except we tried out the Big Corona area. Cute pics, looks like you guys had fun!
I love Newport and am very impressed you braved the water... I don't even brave the water here yet and it's not frigid. beautiful sea lion.
So fun that your family came down! Beach and d-land are some of my favorite places!
