Beach Camping

This weekend we discovered the wonders of beach camping at Leo Carrillo State Park. We spent each day playing in the sand and surf and then we walked back to our campsite to eat, shower and rest.
Grayson spent hours constructing tunneled villages and sea walls, and then laughed gleefully as he watched the ocean reclaim his creations.


At night we walked along the cliffs admiring the waves and the sunset.
That is what I call time well spent.

Hiking

While the boys were at school, Emily and I had a chance to explore Irvine Park. We took our bikes and headed towards the back trails.


After climbing some rocks, we found some beautiful views.


We both agreed that we need to do it again soon.

Cole at School

Here is Cole on his first day at preschool. He has been coming to the school with me when I volunteer each week, so he is pretty much thinks he owns the playground. The first day was all smiles and fun with his teacher Mrs. Hodges.

Men in Mustaches

I walked into the boys room and found this rather sinister looking group of men in mustaches. They would not reveal their identities, but that little one certainly had a familiar giggle.

Grayson's Karate Show

For the last session of Grayson's karate class at The Little Gym, the kids put on a show for the parents to demonstrate all that they learned.
