Summer Beach Trip #3

We went on one last summer beach trip in August to Carpinteria with John's mom and Sister Lisa and family. We had such a good time. Our kids love each other and we love spending time together.
Jackson in the sand. We didn't have much sun there, but the kids still enjoyed the water. The Utah cousins had to set the example in order for our kids to get in the ocean.

Adam tried skim boarding- here he is falling off!
The girls chatted it up.

Jackson made a break through on the 3rd summer beach trip and got his feet wet.
Jacey loves Emma!
Adam the artist made a mickey mouse sand design.
We ventured to Santa Barbara one day in search of the sun. We toured the Mission there. Nice picture op outside the mission. Kind of weird. John took advantage.

This was neat for Jared because he had studied the California missions in 4th grade.
Jaden
Beautiful Mission- Emma, Isaac, Ethan, Jared

Next, we decided to visit the Natural History Museum
They had a really cool display- Butterflies Alive! We got to go in an outdoor atrium and walk around with the butterflies. Hundreds of butterflies flying around right next to us.

John went around trying to capture a blue one on camera.

Jaden's reaction after one landed on him.
John got a couple to land on his fingers.

We did find sun in Santa Barbara- we went on a walk at the wharf.

Hanging out in our motel room- Jackson loved Emma.

Another beach day- We drove south a little to Rincon beach. They played with these "houses."
Jared finally tried boogie boarding and loved it. Jaden liked it too.

Those kids were out there for hours and hours.

They got Grandma to sit in the house.
