Uncle Scott and The Chocolate Malt Man

Kari called us Sunday night with a pleasant surprise! Cookie and Steve and their family were flying back home from New York and decided to stay in Orange County for a day! This morning I had a dentist appointment so Marisa went with everybody to Ruby's at Newport Beach and I met everyone else afterward. We just hung out at the park and the beach and watched Oprah at Kari's house. haha. In the afternoon I found out that Steve gave Marisa her first taste of a chocolate malt at Ruby's! And no one was going to tell me! Oh well, I guess she liked it. And to make a long story short, Steve also gave the kids a lot of treats. So much in fact, that the kids all had stomach aches and Weston threw up in the car. (I'll let Kari tell the story). In the end, I'm sure all the kids will remember their favorite Uncle Scott (that is what he told the kids his name was. His reasoning:"Everyone likes Uncle Scott!"). Well, it is always fun seeing family and I hate seeing them go. I'm sure Marisa can't wait for some more chocolate malt in the future!

Marisa absolutely loved the birds. Maddie helped Marisa chase them down.

Happy to be at the beach with cousins!

First time eating sand! Yummy!
