August 11th couldn't have come quick enough for the kids and myself as we were eagerly awaiting Dan's arrival home from the Czech Republic! Thankfully the team made it home safely and they had a wonderful trip! Then on Friday the 13th our family and the Hansen family headed down to Cambria, CA to spend a week at Dan's grandparents beach house...16 long hours we arrived safely there! Tired, but ready to do some relaxing!
The boys and dads did some rocking climbing, this is something Dan and his siblings grew up doing with their dad every year they went to the beach house! So fun to make the same memories! :) (L-R) Max, Josiah, Micah and David

Oh, I love each and every one of these pictures!!!! It is so fun to see your family doing all the wonderful things at the ocean house...just like we used to do...now a new generation. It would be fun for you and me to each do a scrapbook of each family's time and compare! I know, it would be a great idea!!! We'll see if it happens:)So many memories. You guys are tough...our kids used to wear wet suits to boogie board. Way to go, Anna! Fun to see the Visalia pics, too. Thanks for posting!
I love all the pictures! It's so fun to see the memories you're making... especially knowing how much I love my memories from those trips to California!
Great pictures, good times and memories made for the Steiner family and friends.
Such fun pictures! So glad you got time away with your sweet family and just relax!
Wow what fun!!!! So glad Dan made it home safely, and that you survived!! =) I've been praying for you!
