In the spring of 2013 Mat and I decided it was time to save for a trip to Hawaii again. We figured we could set aside money each month and by spring break of 2014 we would be relaxing with the island breeze. An incident with backing out of the garage, Bailey's appendix, and basically life altered our plans to Spring Break in Oceanside, California.
The benefit of our new plans were that we could invite other families to go along. We rented a great beach house and invited the Herd's, Edwards, and Orchards, to share in our family fun.
The house was PERFECT with ample space to accommodate all four families and it was RIGHT on the beach so the kids could spend as much time in the sun as their hearts desired.
We got lucky with gorgeous weather and despite the ocean being a tad cold the kids rarely came inside.
Mat took Bailey and Caleb one morning to the San Diego temple to do baptisms which was Caleb's first time. We also took a day and went to see the seals and tide pools in La Jolla. We could have easily spent every minute of our trip at the house however. We were there for four nights which frankly just wasn't enough!
The kids all got along great with each other and they all formed new friendships.
Mat and I have taken some great trips over the past few months but there's nothing quite as fun as having all of the family in one place.
The kids are growing up. In terms of summers left we have 3 with Bailey which is crazy to think of!
We had a wonderful time and of course can't wait to head back!
