A great way to start the summer

This past week we went to California!!!!  We started by going to Six Flags, it was so crowded and lame so we only went on one roller coaster and left.  We headed down to San Clemente to go camping with cousins.
We got there early so we set up camp and headed to the beach while we waited for the rest of the gang to come.


It was so cold.  The air temp was about 65 and the water was about 68.  I wore a sweat shirt the whole time while my crazy family went in the water.

 Our camp spot,
 We headed to the beach the next day, it was still cold and cloudy, but that didn't stop anyone from having fun.
 San Clemente is so beautiful


 The kids dragged this huge piece of seaweed on the beach
 It was full of sea creatures.


 Tanner teaching Zane how to skim board
 We were lucky enough to have Missy and Tessa come visit us on the beach for a few hours.
 Back to camp after 8 hours on the beach.
 The kids loved playing card games back at camp
 Whats camping without a wienie roast.  Plus we needed a fire for warmth.
 The first day at the beach was so cool and cloudy that we forgot to sunscreen everyone, the next day we were all fried.  But the sun finally decided to make an appearance.
 Kali and I trying to soak up some sun
 Tanner and Eli wanted to make a bird trap.  So they dug a huge hole and put Kali in it.  They then put a blanket over the hole and through crackers on it.  If a bird landed on it Kali would grab it from under the blanket.  no birds would fall for it though:(

 Another bird trap, Kali again is the sucker they talked into being part of the trap
 Kali and Eli loved to dig for sand crabs


 Even with the sun out the water felt so cold.  They are crazy
 Kali and I made a sand sculpture of a hammer head shark

 Zak finally trying to soak up some sun


 Eli and some others dug a hole about 5 feet deep.  They decided to bury Ethan in it.
 Kali was pooped out after two full day at the beach.  And she was freezing
 The last day we were going to go to the beach for a few hours, but everyone was so burnt that no one wanted to go.  We took a walk down the pier.

 I don't know if I have mentioned this, but my Kali is crazy.  She loves to play dress up in a very original way
