Vacation part 1.

I know, right? You are thinking - "geez, it's about time". I mean, really - what have I been doing? Well, since I could write and entire post on that, and never get pictures posted - I will skip it!


So, vacation. I have to do this in 2 parts. 1 Beach, 1 other things we did. Notice the beach takes up 1 section. That should tell you how much time we spent there, or not. I forgot to take pictures when I relaxed too much. That and boy, the beach is sandy!!! Didn't want to ruin my camera!

So, here it is...Pure bliss!

Romping in the waves

Who will go first?

It's not always who you think it will be!

Building my new castle, so I can live on the beach : )

My kids and my nieces - working on my driveway...to my new castle.

Watch out Bay Watch, you got nothing on this girl!

"I really need to clean out the handle, so much sand!"

Beach Bum.

There. There are some to tide you over until I can sit down and do some more. For now, just know we really enjoyed leaving 100 degree temps for the 60s/70s we enjoyed on the beach. Did I mention we went to the beach a lot???

Life's a Beach -

And then you cry.

After 3 straight days at Disneyland - a morning at the beach is just what we needed!

Air temperature: 70 Degrees (perfect)

Water temperature: 68 Degrees (a bit chilly)

A day at the beach where 3 of the 4 kids don't care how cold the water is....priceless :- )

Monkey has a low tolerance for cold water. His comfortable zone begins at 86 degrees.  He did not enter the water, play in the water or appreciate the water like the other 3 did!
