Beach Bums

A week after we had been home from Colorado, we took off for the beach. This time with my family! We stayed in my brother in laws beach house in Ventura California. My mom, my 2 little bros, Jena and Shane came. We had a great time, minus the extreme wind and cloudy weather the first 2 days. I love relaxing at the beach watching my chillens play in the water and sand. Although Collin and Casen usually want me in on the action... water, waves, boogie boards, sand, the whole bit. So I give it my effort. Collin could stay there all day with sand covering his body. Casen likes to take breaks, wrap up in towels and head into the beach house. They are 2 funny boys. Collin learned how to boogie board this trip with a little assistance. Sammy my bro learned to surf, and I learned that pics of me 8 months pregnant are not so cute :) I also learned that it would have been good to bring a camera! Yes, I am that stupid. I couldn't find my camera on the way out... so I these are some pics that Jena emailed to me. I missed many priceless moments in consequence of my absent mindedness.... But none the less we had tons of fun! While at the beach we went, longbarding or biking, we went to the cool aquarium on the pier in Santa barbara, we rode on of those silly family bike car things along the beach trail in Santa Barbara, we went to the Zoo... the boys did TONS of boogie boarding, and frisbee in the ocean, sand digging, kite flying, smores on the beach at night, shoppping, cooking, eating, playing games, taking showers to get the sand of for the hundreth time and so forth. Thanks fam for the fun trip! Love you all!
