Day Four: Tuesday--day of the BEACH!!

Lots and Lots to discover!

Ruby learned the word "walk" on this trip. She just walked and walked and walked and refused to hold our hands. She thought it was pretty funny when we would try to hold her hand and she would rip hers away. Lots of laughter. I'm sure she could be heard for miles around as she strutted down the beach squealing "walk, walk, walk, walk,..."

You'd like to hold these hands wouldn't you!Busy in the sand

The Cheese girls:)
(I finally caught up to her!)

Sand Castle time!

What is this stuff and do I like it?

I guess so!

Isaac was quite the adventurer

These boys were definitely beach dwellers while we were in Ventura. I hardly saw them inside! They LOVED being out with the crabs and sand and water!

This ocean is just my size!

What a beach babe!

Chillin' in the sun

Ruby was happy to help Luke wash his shells.

Daddy decided to teach Isaac to boogie board...

and he LOVED it over and over again!

...Until he wiped out:( But he did a great job and had fun!
Then he just wanted to chill in the water and play with the other boys.


That's a beach folks!

Day 3

Day 3: Monday--day of beaching it, arrival of the Tingey Family, and Birthday celebrations for an old man. (I purposely didn't take a lot of pictures--yes sometimes I just enjoy the moments without the camera--it is quite nice.)

Picnic on the porch.

Ruby eating in the same high chair at the beach that I ate in when I was a baby! The nostalgia!The view from up here is good--Ruby can see lots of dogs and birds playing on the beach and she is sure to point them all out more than once.Ruby meeting up with adorable baby Kelsie. She LOVES babies and Kelsie was no exception. She was always pointing at her making sure we knew when she was around.Meet Mr. Jungles. The boys brought their own money so they could buy something to California. Luke's money didn't quite make it to California, but at a pit stop along the way, he fell in love with this monkey. He went most everywhere with us and is still well loved here at home.

The boys were so excited to have the Jordan and the rest of the Tingey clan to join us on the beach. The didn't get to the beach house until dinner time but they made sure to have a little bit of beach fun wearing life vests.
(Jordan, far left, and Isaac are only 6 weeks apart--friends come in all different sizes:)
And last but not least. Kyle got to watch a college Basket ball game, eat thrifty icecream, and celebrate his 31st birthday AT the beach with his amazing family and friends. Lucky guy!
Don't forget honey, we also bought you a house for your birthday:)

(don't count the candles...I didn't...who doesn't want their age slightly inflated in candles?)

FYI--our move date is this Saturday! Yipee!!

Day 2

Day Two: Sunday--Day of Easter Egg dying, Conference watching (awake this time), Resting, Park playing, scooter riding, motorcycle Easter Bunny visiting, and lots of family time.

Luke was so excited to push Ruby on the swing.I love how they have the same faces!!While we were at the park, look who showed up throwing candy!
We played hide and seek in the backyard of the other beach house.
