Memorial Day Weekend

We headed to San Diego again for Memorial Day Weekend. We are so lucky that it's only 5 1/2 hours from us and our kids have become pretty good in the car. It's such a great place to get away from all the hassles and regular life stuff. We're also SOOO glad our cousins are always willing to come see us for the weekend too. Our kids have become such great friends.


















On Saturday the boys (big and little) spent ALL DAY in the sun while Cassy and I had a little shopping time. Everytime I saw my sweet stubborn I reminded him that his cute white body could use a few more layers of sunscreen, which he refused everytime. The next 1 1/2days he spent bright red, unable to move, covered in cold towels and aloe vera. Not exactly the vacation we were hoping for, and I hate to say "I told you so," but I told you so.





On Monday we went to the beach. It was FREEZING. Which was so weird because it was great at their house but the temperature was low and the wind was whipping, but the beach was packed. The adults stayed wrapped up in sweatshirts and towels while the kids pretended like it was 100 degrees. Mimi was the only real sport and got down and dirty in the sand with them. Thank heaven for grandparents!


I was so proud of Parker. He is usually so scared of the water, so it was great to see him be brave. He even ended up on his tummy in the waves and liked it. Amazing!










Not sure where Jace learned this. Probably just the beginning of annoying boy pictures.

Our cute little Shaina!



We couldn't get a fire pit, so we had uncooked S'mores. The kids didn't seem to mind!

Best way to make s'mores without roasting a marshmallow: Graham Cracker, Marshmallow Cream ("Fluff" if you're in the east), and Nutella. Sooooo yummy! And you don't need a fire pit!

Any beach sounds like heaven, even if a bit chilly. Looks like it was a fun getaway.
