Last year, we went to the beach quite a few times, being new to Cali and all. Now it is Aug and we realized we havent been once this year, and Kevin doesn't even know what the beach is! (He was only a few months old last year)One thing that has been holding us back is the cost of staying in a hotel, since its a 2 1/2 -3 hr drive from here. Well finally we decided that we can either try a day trip, or we won't get to the beach this summer! So we tried the day trip, and it actually worked! We got up and made a picnic lunch and was out the door at 9 am, getting us to the beach about noon, which is perfect for the Central Coast since it's pretty cold in the mornings. We had our picnic and played in the sand for a few hours. Mark rented a boogie board and tried to catch some waves, but then the boys wanted in on theaction. He took them out one at a time, and they thought it was the coolest thing ever! Marky wants to buy one. They just stayed in the shallow water, but they had the time of their lives! We finally left the beach about 5 after using the showers to get most of the sand off. We changed clothes and hit McDonald's for some supper. After that, the boys literally fell asleep in the parking lot before we even got on the road! Mom and Dad had a nice quiet drive home, and we got back about 9. Not a bad day trip! I think we will do it again!

It's so much fun to read about your family. Your boys are so cute! I can't believe how big they've gotten. You look great and it looks as if you've had a great summer!
