Last week my sister Marcie was making a visit to my Dad with her family in San Diego and invited us to join! We made a one night reservation at the hotel they stayed at, packed the car with beach gear, dropped off Clay at LAX for his fishing trip to Alaska and here we are. 9:30 am on a Carlsbad beach :)
Ella, Cora and Avery
Cora and her collected plate of shells
and charmed by Henry building sand castles with her :)
little Remy with Audrey
Chester has spent his whole summer swimming at the pool and beaching with family.
He loves it!
Marcie is pointing to Scott's emerging head from a wave :)
Queen Cora got a sand throne with the help of her grandpa
(my brother Marty)
Jonah hunkering down after getting thrashed around by a wave...it was unusually rough water that day!
Lucy completely conked out under the canopy
like I said, it was rough!
later that night we went out for ice cream at Handels in Encinitas.
Oh man. So good.
older cousins with braces with cute little cousins at Roberto's for some dinner
Chester and Daniel sporting the same shirt and most likely talking about sports :)
Sunday morning we met up at a little park before the Shumans drove back to Arizona
look at that sky!
annual photo with Marcie
it's funny how the boys bombed it and not the girls
one last stop at Juanita's for lunch before making our way home
At the end of it all I told Marty we should do this once a year and he said...twice a year! So, that's what we'll do. Thanks to Marcie for showing up and making a fun day. My favorite part was getting in the water with my family and siblings to talk, ride waves, laugh, and get crushed.
Oh how I wish we lived much closer.
Until the next time!
