Spring Break at the Beach

We had a really fun spring break. My dad, Karie and Austin came down and we went to the beach house for the week. Karie's sister Jodi and her three kids also came. I don't have pictures of Jeremy and Addie but they were also with us at the beach for one night.

I'm pretty sure that my dad is laughing at Karie and Austin getting smashed by the waves. My dad--as many times as he has been here has never been in the ocean. What a wimp:)

Carson was pretty sick for a couple of days. On this day he came with us to Zuma because we had been feeling alot better that morning--after a round of beach volleyball this is what he did for the next few hours. It was sad.

Uhh...basically this is Kade's drool.

Ella, Brinley, Claire and Haley

Me, making sure Carson is hydrated. Poor guy.

The girls went out for mani-pedis. They, of course, loved it. Lots of sparkles.

Kade--frolicking.

Kade loves Grama Karie. He was so excited for her to come and she came through with plenty of playing and attention.

Ella and Griffin

Bubbles!

Austin was the favorite uncle this week. He put in plenty of play time with the kids and they loved it--and this seemed to be his best pose.

This is Carson's lovely photography at the Santa Barbara zoo.

The kids also went to Alice and Wonderland and How to train a dragon. We ate lots of good food and played on the beach. We played softball. The girls (Claire, Ella, Brinley and Haley, planned a girls night with plenty of activities and the boys (Carson and Griffin) responded with a less organized boys night. The kids had a lot of fun. And so did the big people.
