California Lovin

We started the flight to California off right! Mmm, Coke! Beau wasn't happy that nothing came out for him. Oh well, Mom was thirsty.

My family had been camping at the beach the week before we showed up and had one more night left. So we flew from Oregon to the beach and met them there. We didn't, however, camp with them that last night. My dad lovingly gave us one of his free room credits and we spent the night in a nice hotel. But my mom and dad did use it for showering and bathroom purposes so they got their use out of it too!

We did get a little taste of camping by having hamburgers and hot dogs cooked over the fire and, of course, s'mores! Beau enjoyed his first marshmallow!

 This is a picture of Beau feeling sand on his feet, for the first time he can remember. He loves sand!

Hearing an airplane. Since seeing them up close and personal Beau has become a little obsessed with pointing out any airplane he hears in the sky.

 Did I mention he loves sand? He loves eating sand, is probably more correct!

 Waiting in line for his first taste of Splash Cafe!

He liked the clam chowder and bread. Although, once he discovered ketchup, he liked dipping the bread in that instead. And not eating the bread, but just using that as a devise to get the ketchup from the plate to his mouth. He's the ultimate double dipper!!

One of the hugest onions I've ever seen!

We met up with some old high school friends. It's so fun to see how we have grown into the role of motherhood!

 ...But we still like to party!!

 Turner cousins. He had so much fun with them!

 Beau was trying to push great grandma in her wheelchair. She never got very far.

I love that when he first started wearing floaties, he couldn't bend his arms.

"What is this?!"

We played some wiffle ball. My older brother had an epic throwing of the bat and it ended up sixty feet away in the top of a tree. We had to get our pool skimmer to knock it down and after getting it lost in the tree a couple times we were finally able to play on.

Saying bye at the airport. It was fun, but it went by all too fast!
