Oceanside California

Teek and Daddy
The kids all worked hard on this creation and yet they loved watching it get washed away.

Me and Brooke going out to catch some waves.
We drove all the way to California for the beach and every time we were there we only stayed a few hours because the kids wanted to get back to the pool at the hotel. We could have saved ourselves a lot of money if we had just taken the swimming everyday for a week :)

We had one last beach day planned and then we were going to go to Buffalo Bills and Ride Desperado and spend the night there, but the kids didn't want to do another beach day so we came home 2 days early, which is so not like us, Rick has never driven straight thru, we always stop and spend a night in Vegas or St, George. I feel really luck y that we cut our trip short and were able to be here home when we heard the news about B.J. passing. :(

Jade and Russ had so much fun on the skimboards.

Brooke found a live starfish!
