Catalina Family Trip

We went on a Ball family trip to Catalina. We had such a blast. We were spoiled with wonderful views, perfect weather, fun cousins for our boys, beautiful condo, endless golf cart driving, swimming, guided deep sea fishing, delicious food, quality family time, massages, and para sailing.

Our view from our balcony.
Brody
Michelle's 3 boys. Ethan and the twins Ashton and Slater inside the back of the golf cart.
Another view from our balcony.
I'm pretty sure this is Ashton. I think. They are identical twins with only a few things to identify who they are.
Allison is looking "too cool for school" in her hat.
Parker and Mykalah coloring together on the way home on the Catalina Express.
Here we go...... PARA SAILING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not very glamorous, but here you go.
Something to notice: Allison only has one sunglasses lens. She lost it when they "dipped" her. I laughed so hard I could have peed my pants cause she didn't even want to be dipped in the first place.
This is my favorite picture. Grant and Becky are so fun.
The next pictures are of Brad and I. Para sailing was so peaceful yet a little scarier than I thought it would be. I heard the boat that we took takes you much higher than all the other boats. I believe it, we were up about 350 feet or so. We asked the driver to dip us to our waist and we ended up soaked from our shoulders down. Such a fun experience! I would totally do it again.
This when we were about to be dipped.

We had such a fun time. Thank you for all who helped make this happen. We love you!

Wow, Emily! That's inspiring! We might just have to try that sometime. Your boys are so cute and it looks like a great trip. Haven't thought about taking the kids to Catalina. Did it work well with the little ones?
