Newport Beach Extravaganza

Every year my family goes to good ol' 30th st. in Newport beach for a week. It really is so memorable every year. I come home thinking of all the great times I have and immediately start looking forward to the next year. A nice twist to all the fun is that there are about 25 kids under 16 and about 12 adults all staying in the same place. Each family has their own room, except for me and Whitney. We were lucky enough to be 'real' adults this year and share a room and have it be our own instead of sleeping with my mom or sleeping on the couch. But there is definitely constant chaos, and I am not exaggerating in the slightest. Berkeley ate it all up. Every morning she would run to our bedroom door so she could go and play with all the kids as soon as she could think about it. My favorite part of Newport is of course relaxing on the beach. Ever since I was about 14 I love to lay out on the beach for hours on end, and I am the happiest person ever doing it. My next favorite part was watching Berkeley love the beach. She loved playing in the sand, and even loved the water more. She would constantly come to me and grab my hands and say 'mimming?' over and over until I would take her out. My next favorite is night time when most of the kids are asleep and we play games for a few hours. We might get a little crazy competitive but I think that's why I love it so much. That's what makes a game a game! Other favorites include of course spending time with my family, its the only time that our whole entire family is together all year, so of course I cherish that, riding bikes on the boardwalk, being lazy in the mornings, going jogging with my sisters, shopping at Fashion Island and South Coast Plaza, and eating at my favorite pizza place ON EARTH Rubinos.
