Beach Camping

(July 2018)

Another summer, another beach camping trip.

The Stubbs were in from Texas and we made plans to camp for a few days with them.

We love them so much and miss them so much.

Miles and Elise have been buddies since the beginning of time and they literally pick up where they left off every time we see them.

They played hard every day and my heart can explode of joy when I see their little friendship.

It was the first time Amy and Lane met.

They cuddled on the beach every day.

Taking a baby camping ins't the easiest but Lane did really well.

He was content to lay under the shade and drifted in and out of sleep throughout the day.

Surpriseingly Andie didn't love the beach scene this trip.

She was always asking if we could go back tot he motor home.

She stayed busy eating snacks and staying up on the towels with us.

(which really is okay, it was one less kid we had to worry about by the water)

We tried luring her to play with Blake in the sand but she rather hang out on Ethans back.

In the evenings we'd go back to our motorhomes to start dinner.

Lance was so darling wanting to love on Lane...

While we worked on dinner Miles and Elise would take their scooters around the campground..

One of the nights we babysat Elise while her family went to a family gathering in San Diego.

These two bundled up to watch a movie and they fell asleep pretty quick.

 and these two crashed pretty quick too...

Every morning  Miles wanted to hold Lane.

Having a motorhome sure is nice when you have a newborn.

We were pretty spoiled to have a mircowave to heat up bottles, a sink to wash the bottles and space for diaper changing.

It really is nice and accommodating.

We love our 1998 winnie!  

And Lane loved it too, we even have proof with one of his first smiles on camera.

Our mornings were slow and didn't get back to the beach until 9-10 every morning.

I loved it all.

But Miles and the Stubbs kids were always ancy to get back as soon as possible...

But really the beach never gets boring.

Covering the kids up with sand is always a hit

Even Andie finally ventured off of us for a second and got buried and she loved it.

It is always pure joy to see your babies happy....

and loving life experiences!

 

On our last day extra friends form Riverside came down to play for the day.

We were sad when we moved from that great place and Miles was only 18 months when we left so it was really fun catching up with old friends and watching our kids interact.

We are so glad we got to spend a few days at the beach as a family and with the Stubbs who are like family. 

I just hate that Texas is so far.

Thanks for a great week guys!
