The Beach

Every year we camp at San Clemente State Beach. Thank you Taylor's for reserving the site on New years day and continuing to invite us year after year. This is the vacation the kids really look forward to, they LOVE it. I have to admit I was a little nervous about having such a young baby (we skipped the year Z was born) camping for a week, but it was awesome. Seb insisted the baby and I fly there so he didn't have to stop all the time for feedings. I am so glad he did coincidentally Aunt Cathy, Uncle Randy, and cousin Dallin were on my flight. So they helped me with my bags and baby and we got to talk the whole time. It was so great I don't think I can ever fly with out them. They also took my flight back to Utah and helped me again! Seriously I love those guys. Here are the girlies with Aunt Cathy who looks like she is there Mom. Z is always saying "I want to eat at her house," because we always do.

Another perfectly warm day on the beach. We couldn't get enough of it!!

I am so proud of myself. Meadow is still a little too young for sunscreen so I had to keep her in the shade the entire time. And...she didn't get any sun! Yeah for me, because everyone else got burned. It's Seb's joke if you want to get burned have Precia put your sunscreen on for you. At least you have a little tan now Idaho-boy!
Seb taking a turn in the shade with the baby for a while.
Z and her little friend Lulu. Seriously they are headed for Hollywood. A little too cute!
S, her "sand-baby" and Jonas. Ahh the endless possibilities of sand!
O and her sweet friend Paige doing a little baby sitting for me while we packed up camp. We got so lucky to be camping by such nice people. I only wish we could have hung out more Darringtons!
Olie being grumpy with the sleeping man at Legoland.
Me and three of the girls after a really scary (for a three year old) ride.
Seb changing a bum in the vacation home. This might be one of our best purchases ever. You can stand up an there are multiple rooms and a light on the ceiling! Check out the bay window. I really think I could live in it all Summer.
O being wild
S, look close, became a mermaid.
Seb renamed Z "wave jumper" because she could jump over waves all day. She never got sick of it even when she got tumbled. Every once in a while she demands to be called "wave jumper" and who can say no to her, not us!
O, Fiona (turned around) Gabriella, and Joey. Hmm these girls are going to be trouble in 10 years. Check out the posing!
