We're Back!

We made it back from a last minute weekend trip to California. We decided to meet our friends the McCarty's in Oceanside, CA for a fun filled weekend of fun in the sun. Although, the sun didn't quite agree with our plans. We left on Wednesday afternoon, made it to Las Vegas, spent the night there with family, and headed out early Thursday morning.

As we pulled into the parking lot in Oceanside, Kate informed us that this was the best day of her life, and this was going to be the best vacation ever! we brought in our luggage, and then headed straight to the beach! The girls were excited to see their friends Aspen and Brindley, but they were most excited to just be out of the car.


Even though the sun was hiding behind clouds, and it was a tad windy, it didn't stop Kate from running straight into the water.


Andie was a bit more hesitant, and enjoyed digging in the sand.


Kate and Andie playing in the sand.
Sharla and I enjoyed sitting on the warm sand and watching the girls play together. But the boys would have none of that!
They went boogie boarding! They said the water was pretty warm, but it was really cold when they got out.
Kate and Aspen dancing in the surf.
No trip to the beach is complete without a dance in the surf!

Andie happily pointed out the "Scoo Bus" in the background about a hundred times. She also had fun pointing out any birds, airplanes, or helicopters she saw. But beware! Any bird that got close enough, was chased down by Miss Andie.

Andie loved sitting on the warm sand.

After playing all day at the beach, the girls were exhausted and fell right to sleep when we got in the car. We headed back to the condo we were staying in and enjoyed a nice dinner of grilled steaks, potatoes, corn on the cob, cantelope, and honeydew melon. Yummy! Topped off with a soak in the hot tub. What more could a girl ask for?!?
