Beach Bummin'













The beach was great!! Highlights of our time:

-Grandma's hot cocoa to take the chill off the morning marine layer
-Shea learning to ride a bike for the first time!!
-Reilly and grandpa enjoying some fishing on the beach and catching lots of huge ones- at least that's what they said
-The munch bunch building a massive sand castle (with mom and grandpa's help) that rocked the whole beach and sent other kids home crying
-Grandpa letting the big kids stoke the campfire with wood
-S'mores and campfire songs, of course!
-Collecting shells and rocks on our adventure walks down the beach
-Discovering all kinds of God's sea life- we saw dolphins, seals, sand crabs, real crabs, and anemones
-Walking into the quaint little town of Carpinteria and stopping at the candy store where Reilly got the winning gumball from the vending machine and took home the grand prize of 6 Air Head candies
-Camdyn chasing seagulls up and down the beach
-Kinley screeching and jumping as the waves came in
-Time to love on each of the kiddos and live in their world for a few days without the responsibilities of home life... I guess that's what I enjoyed the most! Thanks mom and dad (grandma and grandpa) for taking care of us and making for such a fun week!

These are GREAT! I especially love the top picture with their tongues sticking out and the glasses and horns. :-)
