Huntington Beach, Ca

Our family vacationed in sunny California this year, and among the many things we did during those

glorious 8 days, one of the kids favorite things was spending the day at Huntington Beach.

Here's Morgan after she'd spent a great deal of time burring her daddy.

 Morgan and the Mermaid's tail that Matt made for her.  The amount of sand that followed these two home from the beach is astounding.

 Morgan liked running from the waves, while Gabe enjoyed body surfing.

Daddy daughter time.

Chandler spent his beach time collecting these little crab like critters. We still don't know what they were, but they were nasty looking.

I spent the majority of my time on my beach towel, enjoying the sun, surf, and watching my family have a great time.  It had been a very busy and very stressful month before our vacation.  Between Matt working, and doing a play for the YM's encampment, and my Girl's Camp and subbing for a co-worker, the whole family really deserved a vacation.

Occasionally a big one came along, that got the better of her.

And here's the gang after a long, sunny day at the beach.
