Beach day...

Brenna and Curt set up their trailer and hosted a little family gathering at Bolsa Chica beach on Monday. We arrived at lunch time and spent a couple of hours playing in the sand (the kids), swimming in the waves (John and the other daddies), and freezing in the wind (me). When we'd finally had it with the cold wind, we changed into warm clothes and settled down by the fire pit. Curt grilled some yummy spiral-cut hotdogs and we toasted marshmellows for s'mores. It was a fun day and we got lots of good pictures! Thanks, Vander Molens! =)

The kids loved the seaweed...

Yummy s'mores!!




Luke thought the fire was a little too warm...but had fun roasting marshmellows with Daddy, Uncle Curt, and Uncle Drew.


Kate trying hard to stay warm...


As you can see, the kids were filthy. Fortunately, we were able to shower them and get into jammies for the ride home because they both fell sound asleep in the car and didn't wake until morning. =)
