Newport Beach Pier...

My chauffeur...Ready to go!!!

I took Aubrey to the Newport Beach Pier this afternoon, she loved the sand and jumping in the waves as they came in and pulled us back into the ocean.  

Wow, what fun she said...Here take a handful of sand in your camera lens?

Went down to Balboa Carnival zone with Niki and Aubrey...Took lots of pictures, many were out-of-focus because Aubrey runs alot and she's FAST!

We almost got wiped-out by a large wave but somehow survived.
