Beach House Fun

A few weekends ago we headed to the coast for a long weekend. I think it is safe to say it was probably our best trip there since Hudson and Brooklyn were born. Everyone behaved well, H and B are getting older so they are easier to take places. As we were leaving I said to Kevin, "I genuinely had fun this whole weekend with our kids!" I know it sounds bad, but it has been a while since I've been able to say that. Just being real! It helped that the weather was BEAUTIFUL! I just really like the sunshine and warmth and I know my mood is affected by the weather too. Here are a few snap shots.

The girls and I made a cat in the sand.


It was so warm Ethan and Kevin decided they needed to go in the water...brrrrr!


Hudson often finds one or two toys and becomes attached to them for a day or two. This weekend it was this little football. It was HIS football and you better not try to play with it!


Waiting for the bagpiper. It was so nice we didn't even need jackets!




Fun at Dennis the Mennis park. I have a love hate relationship with this park. The kids love it, but it is so big and there are so many kids I am constantly counting our four. We lost Hudson for about 3 minutes this time....scary!


Our trip to the tide pools this time had us finding a star fish! All the kids were brave enough to hold it:) Morgan took care of letting it go back to his home. We are always thankful for our get away time at the beach!

So glad you had agreat time with the whole family for the weekend. Good thing you live in CA where your mood can be positively affected by the sunshine and warmth more than other parts of the country. I haven't minded hibernating from the cold weather cuddling with the baby. We got your package today! Thank you for both of the boys gifts!
