My dad had the beach house for three weeks in a row! We got to come down and visit for all the weekends! In the last year or so we have discovered this fabulous gourmet Mexican place in Carmel Valley and we now frequent it multiple times when we are down in Monterey. My Dad's wife, LeeAnn brought her kids (and families) to the beach house, and my brother Nate actually got to come as well. It was a great time!
These kids were so funny, they loved hopping and jumping around together the entire time.
We convinced Derek to try sushi for the first time.
Immediately after this face, he said, "actually it wasn't all that bad. I was expecting much worse."
But what can you expect from this guy?
Can you guess where we went?
Yeah, for the tidepools! At least we hit up a different section of tidepools each time, and really, there are new surprises every time we go.
Ethan found a pre-historic looking animal and told me he had found a roly poly bug. I think he nailed it.
Papa Rex!
I love that all the boys are focused on different treasures.
Ethan found the remains of a crab and spent quite some time studying it. He is such a curious boy, always excited to learn.
Lincoln was just so happy to be able to run around by himself. I think this is the first time we've let him explore the rocks on his own!
I think John is giving Rex a rexplanation!
He found us a HUGE sea star to enjoy!
John also found a real crab and the boys were comparing specimens.
I love Lincoln's face in this picture. "What are you doing? Are you kidding me?"
"No, you are kidding me!"
And of course, the kids loved playing at the park! Aren't you glad I have so many new and exciting places to show you?
Lincoln got his exploring on.
We even attempted some family photos. Although no one told us about any coordinating colors.
As a family, meaning John, Me, Ethan and Lincoln, we just weren't feeling the photography bug. The boys were completely restless!
The wind was not cooperating either!
But at least we got a few cheesy ones in.
Look how fast this kid runs!
Look how quickly his top teeth are coming in!
Love these slides!
Maybe we should just take some family pictures in slides from now on, since they are my favorite pics.
Pure bliss.
This sequence cracks me up.
I love that he squeezes his eyes closed!
They are starting to play so well together and every time I see it, I want to remember it forever.
It just didn't feel right without a picture of the red roller slide.
John and I got to go see a 3D movie, the last Harry Potter! Fantastic! And those shades were ever-so-glam!
