2012 Sunday School Harvest Party

Christine getting wiped out by a wave!

Watch M.J. catch this wave all smooth like, and then me as I get CLOBBERED! 

It's short because I scared the snot out of everyone and Mike turned it off, since I didn't come up for a while.  

Did you know the ocean is powerful!?

It's ok...you can laugh =) 

Magical Vacation

We had a wonderful opportunity to take our family on a fabulous vacation.  Dear family friends of ours, the Jeffs, invited us to stay with them at Rachel's parents vacation home ON imperial beach in San Diego.  It was beautiful, warm, relaxing, and a blast spending time with our friends.  This trip held lots of firsts for us, kids' first time on an airplane, our first time in San Diego (or any warm beach for that matter), and the grand finale, Disneyland!

I couldn't resist using the song from Tangled (Ellie's new CD), At Last I See the Light...since we Millers have never had a desire to travel or really understood people's longing to vacation on a warm beach...I GET IT now!

San Diego 2012

 3 days at Imperial Beach, house on the beach with a pool...what vacation is all about! 

Body boarded for the first time, I have a new appreciation for the ocean.  

BIG POWERFUL WAVES! 

 6 sweet kids playing at sunset - love them

Me and my dear friend Rachel! 

Rebuilding the beach (only happens every 20 years) pumping sand from Mission Bay over and hour away.  It was wild to see and hear, and lots of pretty shells! 

San Diego Bay - Saw Aircraft Carriers, and toured submarines and the famous ship that Pirates of the Caribbean and Master in Commander was filmed on.
