Well, I didn't think it was going to be over a month before I posted the rest of our Newport trip but life takes unexpected turns sometimes. Most notably, at the end of May, Morgan's dad suffered a stroke.
We thought it was mild at first and after spending a week in the hospital, he was discharged.
That evening, he passed away peacefully in his sleep.
God's grace was evident in all of the details that transpired that week and we couldn't be more thankful for His goodness.
Although we are so sad to see grandpa go, the thought of him being in heaven with our Lord and Savior and reunited with grandma gives us such great peace and joy.
Consequently, the family has been busy planning his memorial service, which will take place next Saturday.
More on that later...
We love you, grandpa and will miss you dearly.
We took the ferry over to Balboa Island.
Two peas in a pod.
My men!
Love them all so much!
Twin dolphins.
Look at Zach's face. He wasn't sure about going on the Ferris Wheel. 😟
Salt Water Taffy is a must when we're near the ocean.
Notice his face now. He loved it so much he went back for round 2!
Then he wanted to try the jumper. Look at how big he looks!
He absolutely loved it!
He kept saying, "I'm touching the clouds!
And then he would say, "Hey Faith! Look at me!"
Then he spotted his favorite kind of truck.
Learning to drive the ferry boat back.
Hanging out at Newport Beach.
The waves were loud and crashing onto the shore so he was hiding under the lifeguard stand.
❤❤❤
A cloudy day at the beach is still a day at the beach. 😎
He's my favorite. 💘
Later in the afternoon, we went to Laguna Beach and the sun popped out!
Adventuring together. ❤
Super dad and his boy wonder.
So grateful to God for this family of mine and the time we got to spend just enjoying each other and playing outside.
