Catalina Trip with The Vega's

My sister and her family finally ALL got to go with us to Catalina. We took Kelly and the girls last summer, but Eli had to work last minute and couldn't join us. Well, this summer it all worked it out we got to take Eli on his first trip to the island. Luckily, Colby was able to get a mooring in Avalon so Eli could experience it for the first time. We had so much fun with lots of laughter and good times. We swam, ate, drank and even got to have a school of dolphins swim next to the boat on the way home. The pictures tell the story of our trip.

Dinner Friday night for day old spaghetti and lasagna

After dinner, the girls had to try and ride the buffalo

Eli got his Wicky Wacked for the first time

We really don't make it a habit to take our kids to bars!

Oh, Jaymee!

Hang Loose, Lexy!

Kelly had a delicious buffalo's milk, notice empty glass!

After a quick drink, we headed over to the arcade for a few games.

Concentration all around!

Jaymee was racking up tickets on a game of 21

Air hockey - Lexy won!

Simultaneous game as above, Jaymee won!

Just like her Daddy, kissing the fish

I love fish!

School of mackerel, Lexy's catch.

Love this picture of Jaymee and Kelly

Skip-bo, a game my Grandma Donna used to play with us for hours. I thought it would be fun to bring on the boat.

Lexy was a bit hesitant, but she had a go at it, finally.

Go Lexy!

My turn

After all of our jumps, Bailey finally got in the water!

No jumping for Kelly and Eli

Bailey swimming with her Daddy

Since Lily has gotten so brave walking around the perimeter of the boat, we had to buy her a life jacket. We also had to see if it worked!

Wet dog.

The school of dolphin on the way home.

She looks so cute, I couldn't resist another picture, or two!

Rest time for Jaymee, Bailey and Lexy on the way back home.

Afterwards, they all climbed in together.

Video of the dolphins on the way home. Bailey, Lexy and I were on the bow of the boat watching them swim under the boat. You can see our shadow in the water and on the dolphin. You can also hear Bailey in the background, she is laughing, not crying!
