After spending time with the Mendoza family we were just as excited to hang out with my cousin Elen (on my mom’s side) her husband Noel and two damn near cutest kids you could ever hang out with~Aiden and Logan. First this family doesn’t stop playing, ever. Their house is like a toy house for both kids and grown-ups. I swear it was like going to an amusement park!

Rowan and I were introduced to the Nintendo Wii Fit, then we played Rock Band (which is amazing, because i am the anti video person…but it rocked :D). If we had more time we would of probably gone on their boat to wakeboard, or take the jet ski’s out for a spin. Oh yeah Noel also has a dune buggy he’s working on…..and of course the family snowboards as well!

Aiden is five and Logan is two. Aiden is an awesome little snowboarder/wakeboarder and he can also play Buddy Holly on the drums during Rock Band! Logan is two, the best way to describe him is like a tank that runs over people. He’s so rough and tough but very, very smiley and happy kid. I’m sure in no time he’ll be doing all the action sports like Aiden, well unless he takes up football first!

We spent our only afternoon with the family at Leucadia beach. The beach was awesome, and of course Rowan and I rented boards. What came as a surprise to us was….. Elen and Noel have never taken the kids to the beach in San Diego. Sure they’ve been to the beach in Mexico, but not in their own city! Yeah Rowan and I felt pretty special.

Rowan taught little Aiden to surf and he stood up quite a few times…in fact I think Aiden caught more waves then both of us! We figured it only made sense for Aiden to learn surfing, now he has the all around action sports experience!

Elen and Noel make being in their family fun, those kids are going to grow up so stoked and NEVER EVER want to leave their mom and dad’s house

Thanks guys we had a blast!!!
