Big Sur

Last weekend we went to Big Sur on a camping trip with our friends the Macdonald's and the Hall's. It was such a fun filled weekend being away from TV, phone, email...I think that we will try to do it more often. Our two little twirly girls are just so in love with the outdoors and played hard all weekend long.

First night, roasting marshmallows.

Kadie with her hopeful betrothed Gavin (His little bro Colby is in the background). Kadie and these boys get along almost too well. We really hope that they stay friends forever. Kadie has great taste in boys already.

This humongous tree was a hit with the kids. Until Kadie tied Colby up and pretended to "rock climb". Poor Colby fell and got a fat lip.

On Saturday we went to the beach. While the kids were busy digging in the sand and running on the shore, the Dad's got in a little bit of mild Rock climbing with a wedding ceremony going on below.

Of course, Kadie, Gavin and Colby had to try out their version of Rock climbing when they saw their Dad's way up high on the cliffs. Laney is almost too much of a beach babe. She didn't take a nap the whole weekend being outside all of the time. She just LOVED getting wet and dirty...she is destined to have many adventures.

After a lot of begging, Kadie finally got Josh over digging in the sand. For some reason Josh was finding all of these strange worm things (gross limp slimy thing hanging from Kadie's finger and swimming in the bucket). Kadie kept calling them Eels...but they looked more like a really huge scary parasite. Any one know what they are?


Laney holding a sand crab...looks like sand, but there really was a crab in there. She is so brave.

After digging for crabs, Laney took a rest in a beach chair and chomped on some cheetos.

Thanks everyone for making it a great weekend! We had a blast, and can't wait to get back to Big Sur camping next year if not sooner!
