Summer Beach Trip #2

We went to Pismo Beach in August with my family. It was so nice being at the coast. I was a little disappointed that it was basically overcast the whole time, but it's hard to complain when we were escaping the intense heat of a Bakersfield summer.
Within the first few minutes of arriving, Jacey and Jaden start spraying themselves with this hose. Nice.

Down the long staircase to the beach. It was fun lugging Jackson up and down these stairs.

Jaden cold and regretting his decision to soak himself first thing with the hose.
Jared, Jacey and Morgan

Jacey and Jared climbing the cliffs- have to enlarge to really see them.
I can understand Jared doing this, but Jacey is crazy. She wants to do everything the boys are doing. Makes me nervous.
Coming down.
Almost down.
Our hotel
Splash Cafe- had to eat outside-no room for our big group.

The nice thing about the hotel was that it had grounds for the kids to run and play. We were on the first floor, so we just had to walk out the sliding door and the kids could play.
Jacey and Morgan
Nice view
Jackson and Kaylee

The ocean is freezing!!
Jaden

Jared is missing this day- He decided to go tour the San Luis Obispo mission with Grandma and Grandpa
Don't know what he's doing here
To motivate the kids to read and write this summer we had an incentive chart. Every 10 stars they would get to do something. Going to a waterpark was for 30 stars. They could go up to 50 stars but they stopped at 30. We ran out of summer. On our last day, we stopped in Paso Robles to go this waterpark. Grandma and Grandpa took Jackson home with them. This is Jared on the Toilet Bowl slide.

Cute girl got SO tan this summer.
Jared had a great time!
John had fun too.
And there's me.

What a fun summer. I'm glad there is a picture of you in there. Us moms seem to find ourselves behind the camera the majority of the time. Proof that you really are alive.
