We just got back from a week camping at the beach over Fall Break. We were with Jake's family and our friends Marci and Craig and their girls. We took our tent trailer and enjoyed the weather and ocean. The kids had so much fun playing with friends and cousins. They got to go on the annual sea shell hunt. Jake's mom buys all these cool shells and hides them down on the beach and the kids get so excited to find them. The little ones dont know the secret, and think they are finding shells that washed up from there, but the big kids know and are still excited to find cool shells. We went to Knotts Berry Farm one of the days and it was so nice because it wasnt busy at all. We got right on all the rides. It was nice too to have lots of us to take turns with the kids so everyone could go on rides. The boys picked out these pop guns and loved having them to play with the rest of their vacation. Sammi got a snoopy water bottle and Rebecca a snoopy coin purse. It was their allowance money that they had saved for this trip. We went to La Jolla another day and Jake took the kids snorkeling. I sat in the park with Tessa and Tanner and played I spy with Tanner and people watched. It is so interesting to see all the kinds of people that make up this world. Kimball lost his flip flops on the beach and I went down several times to look for them, but they were buried somwhere in the sand. I did find a cell phone though. We called the number in the cell phone under Mom. It was a kids phone. The Mom said she would send her husband to pick up the phone. So we met him at the front. He thanked us for returning the phone. He said that his son wasnt supposed to be at the beach! Busted! It was nice to get away and spend time as a family. I have mounds and mounds of laundry! Oh the joy of being a Mom!

oh I miss the beach. I looks like you had a great family trip. Lucky!
Those pictures look like so much fun. Luckily the only laundry I had when we got home was putting stuff away:)
Tessa's shirt is so cute!
Isn't the San Diego temple beautiful. Glad you all had a great time.
Sounds like you had a great time. Making memories, that's a priority for Pres. Monson. Did you know that? I love Tessa's shirt!
