Carlsbad with the besties

Another annual in our summer vacation is heading down to Carlsbad to spend time with the Hizons and Valdes.  The kids love it, Erin and I get free babysitting...it is a win win!! :)





Charlie with Uncle Manny

(for the record she still hated the sand)



These kids are SPOILED by the older kids. 


yep, still hating it all



Natalie and Charlotte


Carly, Natalie and Eric with Drew catching sand crabs.  Drew has done this once before.  And he failed to tell me that he kept them in a bucket to take home.  And left them in the car. For a week.  Yeaaahhhh....imagine THAT smell. ;)









Auntie Theresa with Charlotte


Lila eats up these girls attention.


Rin Rin and Ruby



Drew sharing his find with his sister

Max, who is a saint for putting up the wild boys





oh looky here........someone got Charlotte to touch the sand...making progress!!

Carly and Jett




Thanks Mary.  I tried for a week, A SOLID week to get this girl to like the beach.  You take her for 5 minutes and look at her.  brat. ;) (both of you!!! :)

Luke, digging a hole to China




After all the fun at the beach, we headed up to dinner.

huddling for the next play.  but wait....who is the random in orange?!


But come on, who wouldn't want to join in in this madness!

Drew and Natalie took this a bit more seriously than Carly and Jett.
