The weekend before school started, we went to the beach with some friends. We arrived Sunday afternoon and camped out...returning home Tuesday afternoon. The kids then started school on Wed. We had a great time. We camped at Manressa Beach in Santa Cruz. I had never been beach camping before this so it was a new experience. Sunday night was very wet...not raining the mist in the air was almost rain. The kids' tents worked great. Musetta's and mine...not so much. We woke up with a big puddle on the floor of our tent. Luckily, nothing major got wet and we dried out by evening. We walked to the beach Monday morning and the kids spent pretty much the entire day boogie boarding. We had some half wet suits that Uncle Jared had given us years ago that came in very handy. Mark's was a little big so he still got cold and had to get out every hour or so in the morning to warm up but by afternoon, there was no stopping them. Of course, they were exhausted and sore come Tuesday. Sam had a great time although he doesn't like the ocean. But, Mom is ok with that since she doesn't have to worry about him wondering into the water alone. We saw some dolphins and sea lions...it was so awesome. Grandma Knight will be very jealous. There were about 10 dolphins that swam up and down the coast, playing for about 30 minutes. They also had fire pits on the beach so we got to have a campfire on the beach...it was awesome. The wagon Sam is pulling was used to carry our stuff to the car as it was a walk in campsite. He loved pulling it around. The bottom right picture has a dolphin in it...that is how close they were...the front of the picture is the wave breaking on the shore.
