A day at the beach!

Last Friday we went to South Carlsbad State Beach to see the Morgan clan who had been camping there for a week. It's a yearly ritual for their family and used to be for Rich when he was little. It was overcast and misty, reminded me of home (Oregon). The day before was stormy and all kinds of rocks washed up on shore so we took a walk down the beach with the little kids looking at the different colored rocks and shells. We took home a small collection but I wish we had buckets to bring more of the smooth round rocks home for my flower beds. It was so nice to visit with old friends and just relax for a little while. The kids had fun going down to the beach after the sun set and roasting marshmallows by the fire. We loved it there, so we think we will join in the camping fun next year.
Julia had fun looking at all of the rocks and the designs the waves made in the black and tan sand.
Ally immediately got into the water,
Julia thought it was a bit cold!
