Our Summer Vacation just a few months early

Kirk and I decided that we needed a family vacation with just us and our kids. Every summer we do camping with all our extended family and love it, so we thought we would try it with just us (thanks Janell for the recommendation) So I booked us two nights at Leo Carrillo, packed up the van up to the brim and we headed out.

We played in the sand, hit some homeruns, did some jumproping with kelp (my exercise plan since I missed the gym), and did some rock climbing.(Although there was quite a chill Capri still couldn't head to the beach without her new suit on. And if you were wondering, I did do her hair several times a day, but most of the pictures look like this anyways)

In the evening we cooked some smores, and relaxed around the campfire.

It was so enjoyable watching the kids interact so well with no other friends/cousins, no television, no computer. All of our attention was focused on the family, and that is the way it is truely supposed to be. No cell phones, no computer, housecleaning, or television to distract us. I am already doing some research for our next family vacation.

ITS OVER?

We made one last stop at Zuma beach on the way out. Kirk and I were huddled up on the beach chairs using the towels as blankets while the kids did this. I guess kids are pretty resilient to weather conditions, and the adults are just big babies.
