Spring Break

This year the planets aligned and all three of the schools we attend had spring break at the same time! I was thinking about going to visit my parents until they announced that they had rented a house on the beach here in California and that we would all be staying in it. I was happy to have such a short trip!
We went to the pier and got milkshakes. This is Collin being a cat on the pier, he did this a lot during our trip.
The cat stands up!




We also went to the Marina where the boys enjoyed looking at the boats.


We went to the Mormon Battalion monument and hiked up the hill to the statue


While we were there we stopped in Old Town and the boys got to be blacksmiths. Collin was hesitant at first but soon warmed up to hitting clay with a hammer.

The house was right on the beach. Collin had a great time splashing in the waves with some other kids. He is the one in the little blue shorts.

Bonnema and I sat on the beach and watched him.

But Peter showed no interest in going outside and stayed inside most of the time.

Des got a few days off work and came down too.

Marie - The next time you go on vacation, take me with you! The view from the beach house is amazing!

Wow--lots of posts! The beach does look relaxing and it's great you didn't have to make a long drive this time.

I agree with having kids share a room but if it makes peace in the family to separate them, do it!
