Fun in the Sun





We had the most amazing Labor Day adventure at Twin Lakes Beach in Santa Cruz. We made the journey with 2 other families, the Moomey's and the Grays.




The weather was beautiful--warm and sunny with a slight ocean breeze, just enough to cool you off. The kids had the best time digging for sand crabs, building sand castles, and playing in the waves.


Derrick rockin' out to Hannah Montana



Jack and Olivia playing in the sand



Kaitlyn and Izzy digging




Parker in the surf

Me trying out the boogey board




Matt and Izzy building a sand castle



Tay-Tay exfoliating herself




The guys swam out beyond the breakers and also tried out the boogey board.








Spencer loved his first trip to the beach. The sounds of the waves kept him asleep for most of the trip.



And finally, as a tribute to one of our favorite shows, Arrested Development,
here is Lucille, or the Loose Seal that greeted us when we arrived.

Ah, Lucille. How could I forget? Still need to watch season four. Speaking of season four, The Office came out yesterday!! We need to have a marathon while the kids are at school!

I sure do miss the beach and those pictures make me even more home sick. The kids sure are cute.
