Cali Part 2

This is pretty much the rest of the trip aside from the 2 actual days we went to the beach in our swim suits and played on the beach(that will be next)- We had so much fun doing everything together and driving around in the 15 passenger van Craig rented so that we could all pile in. It was so fun to wake up with all the little kids running around and then staying up late playing games or just hanging out- We got some good pool time and shopped a little too- What a great vacation we had.....

Here is big red in person :)  which included -7 adults, 4 kids, 3 strollers, and  4 car seats

 

While Janet and I played with the babies at the little park Clint, Abbey,Craig and Matt played "HORSE"

@ the Marina- right across from where we stayed...

 

This was the kids first chance to play in the Ocean- Molly has been before, but it was last summer and she was still pretty little. She loved it so much, she would follow Clint out pretty far and then run fast back in when the waves would come laughing the whole way.

 

Miss Maggie squealed the entire time while by the water, it was so cute- Even if she wasn't actually dipping her toes in,but just watching she was so happy and excited- Maggie Loves the beach!

 

Of course they were all drenched from the Ocean and covered in sand so what better way to get clean than a cousin tubby!

 

Molly loved hiding in the cupboard, it wasnt long before all three little ones were packed in there hiding from us..

 

Maggie was a Grandpa's girl this trip- the other kids got jealous when their moms, or Grandma were holding Maggie, but Grandpa got in some good snuggles from the Magster..

Take a look at those two pool loungers...

 I think there will just be one more post about the actual Beach Days to sum up our Cali trip- I know lots of pics, but I just can't help it....
