santa cruz

on justin's birthday, we all went to santa cruz! justin and i had driven through it before but had never experienced the board walk or beach. it was a blast!

justin went on the 'fire ball' with his brothers and it looked pretty exciting. they 'free fell' around ten times and i'm sure their stomaches were twisting and turning - mine would have been!


the beach was my favorite part. it wasn't like a sunny southern cali beach but it was perfectly wonderful all the same.



the kids loved the ocean and watching the waves crash on the beach.



i guess the waves weren't really 'crashing' on the beach...more like coasting up the beach - it was still fun to run away with them.

this is jorgen's cousin, anna, she and jorgen loved to play together!


before we left santa cruz, some of the kids played arcades. jorgen and anna even had fun together!



seeing them on the motorcycle ride was so cute! shouldn't anna be in back though? guess not, she is older:D

it looks like jorgen got a little scared - that or he is just practicing closing his eyes:D

did i say that only the kids had fun? well, the older guys had just as much or more fun than the kids. this shooting game is becoming a hansen tradition!

Those are really good pictures. Everyone looked like they had a great time. the picture with Jorgen and Justin is my favorite because of Jorgen's expression. Nice timing with the camera. He is getting so big.

oh my goodness anna and jorgen are both getting so big. He's learning to let the girls take the lead I guess and just go along for the ride! =)

I also love the picture with Justin and Jorgen - he seems so fascinated by whatever is going on!

This is my second try to leave a comment. My computer was weird for a few days a couple of weeks ago. This is old news but that was a fun day and part of the Miles/Siena wedding trip. Love those kids and grandkids!! Thanks for sharing!
