Two weeks ago while we were in California for Debra and Dave's wedding, we made a quick trip to the beach with Katie, Cade, and Cameron. We camped one night at New Brighton State Park and spent as much time as we could on the beach. It was very windy the second day, but Katie and the boys showed us how the beach can be done in any weather condition! They still braved the water and Katie helped Lisa build a sand castle. Lisa enjoyed playing in the sand--she would get this mesmerized look almost like she was meditating. She didn't, however, much enjoy the smoke in her eyes from our campfire. It was fun to watch the boys looking after her. They would go on little walks and take such good care of her. Lyra didn't really know what was going on, but she was mostly happy--her first camping and beach trip all in one. My wrap, as usual, came in very handy, especially since I have learned to use the knapsack tie. I really loved walking on the pier, seeing all the people fishing, collecting seashells and feeling that fresh ocean air on my face. We may not end up living in California, but it would be nice to visit the beach at least once a year.

Cute pictures. Looks like you ALL had a really great time.
Love the pics! The "around sunset" sky is beautiful and the reason blue and pink are my favorite colors...some days I can look out my sliding glass doors and see a beautiful sky like that and it makes everything seem ok in life. Glad you had fun....you worked so hard to have it all work out and it looks like it was worth it!
Oh, I just can't believe how big Lyra is getting! So cute, both girls! We are going camping a month after I have this baby--I'll have to learn the knapsack tie--it looks like a good one. I love my wrap, too!
Hope you are going to frame picture #2. So, so sweet.
