Camping

This past summer we went camping in Malibu with Ron's brother Steven and his family.  The kids had a blast in the dirt and sand for 2 whole days with their cousins (Jaron, Eliza, Emmitt and Makenzie).  It was a great experience but one that I don't think I would ever do with a crawling baby again.  :)  Steven and Tammy are avid campers and go to the same spot in Malibu every summer.  They made it super fun and easy for us.  Thanks to them our kids had a great time.  We might even consider going again with them next year.  :)








Poor Eliza, she got completely buried.  Don't let the frown fool you though.  She actually loved it.








Digging for sand crabs.



The only way to keep Eli contained.  He was 11 months old and crawling everywhere.


Of course Alex was the first one up in the morning.  





Yum, donuts for breakfast.  


Eli trying to catch up to the "big boys."




OUCH!!!


Alex was exhausted.  He would not wake up for anything on this hike.  



Cave

Caught Sydney on camera without her knowing.

"I don't want to go home!!!!"

Always happy!

Time to go!  Can't wait til next year!

Being Silly

Sometimes you just have to be silly!!! 

Sydney wishes Eli was a girl!

Strike a pose!

Pot head!

Soooo cute!!!

"Watch out!!!"

"WAIT...does this hat fit???"

"Where's mommy?"

"Let's just see how hard your hat really is!"

Sea World

We had a fun day at Sea World this summer.  Alex and Eli both absolutely love all animals. Alex loved watching the shows, especially Shamu!  Sydney and Cameron pretty much did their own thing the entire day so, unfortunately we don't have too many pictures of them.  Next time we'll have to make a point to take pictures of them when they actually spend time with us.  :)  They're at the age now when they don't want to do "little kid" things.  Here are some of the highlights of the day:





The BIG RED HAT


They loved watching the sharks



Alexander's FAVORITE!



Alex was not so sure about being in the polar bear's cave!



The ONLY picture we had that proves Sydney and Cameron were actually there with us that day!

EXHAUSTED!!!  What a fun day!
