Camping - Santa Cruz

Back in early August we went on one last camping trip before school started.  We went with some friends of ours and their kids.  It was a great time ... the kids loved having other kids to play with.  They had all brought along their scooters and were able to scooter around the campground.

Even camping, the kids still wanted to play with their gaming devides.  Mason and Syndey sat in the same chair and watched each other play.

There was a nice area for a good ol' game of baseball.

While they played baseball, Kyla played in the dirt ... it's what she does.

Hangin' out at the beach.  We were worried that it was going to be cloudy and cold but it burned off just as we got there.

Cutie.

Mason can be so silly.  I think he was doing a silly dance here while playing soccer with Brian.

Wow, does he look grown up or what?

Man, that water was cold.  The girls didn't mind at all.

Mason and Nolan got in as well but didn't stay in long.

We saw this laying on the beach (turned over) and told Mason it was a piece of seaweed.  We had him touch it and everything.  A few minutes later, we took a good look at it and turned it over and realized it was some kind of a ray.  Mason was so mad at us that we had him touch it ... it was a good laugh for the rest of us.

Aaaaaaawww!

Like I said, Kyla loves to play in the dirt ... it's what she does.  She absolutely loves the beach.

A decent pictof all of us.

We took the kids on a little hike through the redwoods.

Buddies.

Down at the swimming hole we found while hiking.  We'll be sure to wear our suits and hang out down there next time.

Mason's favorite ... Bunny Ears!
