Beach Camping!

Who doesn't want more vacation? After our 2 week road trip, we figured why stop now? We got home and spent one day doing laundry, shopping and cleaning, and then headed out for a week at the beach! What a great way to unwind after all that fun on-the-go travel! We went to Rincon, stayed for the week, and had a blast! This trip we brought the dog along and that created another element of fun!



How cute is my little family? S'mores by campfire at the beach? Priceless!




We all love the beach! It was so great to be right there with access to sand and water all day long!


If you click on the picture for a close-up, you can see our crazy dog, Holly, having as much fun as the kids! We loved letting her off her leash on the beach. She followed the kids out in the surf and body-surfed along side them. Have you ever read the book Marley & Me? That's our Holly... especially the part of her running out to do her business in the water, if you know what I mean. Many times we had to chase her off!
Another hi-light here was Ryan buying a skim board during our evening in Santa Barbara. We tried to talk him out of it as he had never even tried one, but he quickly proved his abilities! Talented boy!




Where's Blake? I guess he wasn't camera friendly that day.
