crusin' day #2...Catalina Island

We took a small boat to Catalina Island. The sky was overcast and the temperature chilly. That didn't stop us!!!



The birds were quite friendly.

This bird decided to take a bath in the drinking fountain.Mariah would love to take her driver's test in the golf cart. It would be a whole lot easier to drive and park than a big old Suburban.

Our morning was booked to go paragliding off the back of a boat.




The kids had us go first...it was a little cold, but so awesome. They took us so high and we could see all over the island.

At first Justine said she wanted to go by herself, but then she decided to go with Lacie and Brock. Justine went back and forth between excited and crying.

Lacie was sporting her NY Yankies baseball cap and the captain of the boat gave her a hard time of that. While she was in the air, we told the captain she had her whole room decorated with NY stuff (a fib). In the spirited of rivalry, he dipped them into the ocean up to their waistes. They all loved that and said the water felt warm.

Next came Mariah and Kali's turn. They too were dipped into the ocean and loved it. We all thought paragliding was the highlight of our trip and something we had all wanted to do.
Formal night...what a beaufitul family..
