A Trip Up the Coast

For as long as I can remember my parents took our family on an annual trip up to the beach house in Cayucos. It means so much to me to now be able to make an annual trip with our kids. There is nothing more important or special than creating lifelong memories with family.
On our way up, we stopped at Mom and Dad's for lunch where we got to catch up with them and Kyle and Jennie for a few hours. We had a great trip that included many lazy hours on the beach, runs, bike rides, thrift store shopping, Jackson getting a Mohawk, Lily losing her second tooth (!), feeding the seals, eating way too much Salt Water Taffy, and so on. Can't wait to do it again next summer!

Summertime

 The last day of 1st grade and preschool...although Jackson will be going back to preschool in the fall but hopefully starting ESK in January

We've had lots of fun days at the beach and pool so far this summer with friends and family...

Fun bike ride at the beach with the fam...

Our camping trip to Cuyamaca was a success and the kids are ready to go again!

A hike with Jack's high school basketball coach and our Dear Friend, Coach Al:

3rd and 4th of July festivities were a lot of fun. We spent the 3rd with The Tomkiel's, bbqing at their house then down to Barona for the fireworks show. On the 4th my sister and I ran the Scripps Ranch 10k then the fam and I went to the parade at Ramona Oaks. The rest of the day we spent swimming at Grandpa and Grandma's and bbqing in the evening:) 

Can't wait to see what the rest of July and August have in store for us before we have to head back to the grind:)
