On June 5th we arrived at the beach house!
It was on Capistrano Beach,
which is between Dana Point & San Clemente
Right out the back door was this....
It was beautiful.
The first day....
We flew out in the afternoon with our little family, my mom & dad & my sister Shelly.
On the way there, the plane was kind of small. We actually had to walk out on the tarmac & climb up stairs to get in. It wasn't my favorite ride...on take off, it kept floating up & down like it almost couldn't make it up! Luckily we arrived safely!!
Then we picked up our "15" passenger van...that was an experience all in itself. Big van, confusing freeways & Steve's driving ;) made for a fun adventure!
Our kids were very excited to see the ocean was right out the door!
We all ran straight to the ocean.

After we got the van unloaded we were in search of a Walmart or grocery store & a place to eat. Eventually we found a Lone Star & target.
THE BEACH...
This was one of the best parts of the whole trip. It was a little cooler weather than we thought it would be (The people in California call it June gloom) but it was still so beautiful.
I love the sound of waves

The rock & shell collectors....Zack, Shelly & Tyler
They collected buckets like this everyday!
Almost every morning, I would wake up & see this out the sliding door. They would wake up early & Go play in the waves & start their rock collecting.
Libby & Zack
LOVED running & splashing in the water
Zack with a "real" smile on his face.
Libby is a water girl!
Tyler loved sliding down the sand hill....
Unfortunately, he got to taste the yucky salt water when a wave went over is head. He spit all the way back to the house!
As you can see he's still in his pajamas, they'd wake up & head outside.

Looks like a Super fun trip! We LOVE beach trips!! I'm glad you guys had a great time!
Let's go BACK!!!!! Do you miss me yet??? lol
Awesome! It was over way too fast. If Utah had an ocean. . . life would be perfect!
That is way awesome! Totally - my kids would be out there in their pajamas too! Love the rock collecting!
I wish we had a scale at the beach house- I could have put another 13 lbs. of rocks in my suitcase!!!!!!
