Summer Beach Vacation

Last week we had the privilege of camping at the coveted Carpinteria State Beach campground. I have to say this was my FAVORITE place so far. The weather was perfect every day and night and there were so many fun things to do (or not to do). We only went for 5 days but next year, we are going to try for 7 since we enjoyed it so much.

I was able to go for a few bike rides all by my lonesome and it was so peaceful! There is a little bike trail with the gorgeous views.

We shared meals with the Murdocks, Lanes and Reynolds which made it SUPER easy for me on this trip. The best part was being able to hang out with them all and getting to know them better. The kids had a blast too.

The meals were perfect too! As Kev would say "we ate like Kings". Here was Orange Chicken night

Their nice set-up. Micah made these stands for Jane and pretty much all throughout the day and night people would stop and compliment them. I have to get me a pair now!

I borrowed this toy seat for JJ and the older kids loved it too. They would always stop and play and make Jackson so happy.

This cracked us up. She would not put her hands or feet down the whole way out to the beach.

Our site. Yes VERY close together but it was so good being so close to the beach. Totally worth it.
