Well, it has been awhile since I posted anything on my blog. We have had a wonderful summer with going to the beach on our family vacation in June. We went to Doheny State Beach for five days and camped out. It was so much fun just to spend time together as a family and it really felt like a small bit of heaven.
Everyone was given assignment to cook and the food was awesome!!!. It was great just to have two food assignments and the food was yummy....We had tents to sleep in except for the Vega Family that brought their brand new trailer. Sometimes the showers were cold yet it was nice to be able to have a shower after being in the sand and sun most of the day. At night the kids were put to bed and the adults played fun games. Scott brought candy for the adults to share every night and with that and the gorp we all gain a few pounds.
Everyday there was something to do. This year Kevin and Holley plan the vacation and they did an excellent job. From going to the tide pools to beach excrusions there wasn't a dull moment. I tried to plan some special acctivities for the kids and we did sand candles and stepping stones. Kevin helpped with the hot wax and the kids seemed to enjoy the candles the next day when we dumped them out. Scott helpped with the concret and the stepping stones were decorated with shells that we had collected on the beach the day before.
The weather was wonderful and not too hot so I really enjoy it. Family vacations are the best and spending time together is so important especially since our family is getting further apart it is so wonderful to get together.....
