family photos on breakers beach in coronado


this post, with minimal bad puns, short sentences, and massive amounts of pictures is brought to you today by kim and april. we're condensing dave's posts so you don't have to.

we recently went out to breakers beach in coronado. the weather was awesome and we decided to take some pics of the ohana.
before we get to those, how 'bout a quick look at america's finest city. drink it in. always goes down smooth.


































here rain decided the spotlight had been on april long enough and started doing jumping jacks in front of the camera







however, april was not done bogarting the frame.




one quick tuck and roll later and...




rain was ready for her closeup


































the navy was doing some rescue training exercises while we were there. it was pretty rad. men in uniform rule! (especially david!)













i'm david and i approved this message :)

    Awwww, my 2 favorite American kiddos! That takes me back to a few short weeks ago when we were hanging out in Disneyland. I can almost hear rain saying "Miss Caaaaattthhhyyyy" LOL. Love the helicopter photos, reminds me of my Navy days :) Awesome shots, and yes Kim, men in Navy uniform always look better than men in street wear ;)

    Hey, if someone can call 911 when McDonald's runs out of chicken McNuggets, then it's perfectly reasonable to call in the Navy when one drops their 5D in the ocean. ;) Awesome images, juicy light -- sweet! P.S. - your banners RULE!

    Im never disappointed when I visit your blog. These photos of April and Rain. The light worked so well for these shots to give them all the sunkissed look. I love sunflare!

    And to end the day with some great navy helicopter action is awesome!
