Beach Camping

We have been having such a great time in California. It is hard to believe that it is November, the weather is perfect. Chris was here with us, but he is home now. We miss him soooo much! Bailey always calls out for him. Sad :( We went beach camping last weekend and then this week we went to the aquarium and Disneyland. My parent's decided just to buy me a season's pass to Disneyland like the rest of them so we can go as much as we want, which is better because now we can go for just a few hours a day and when I come down for other visits! Thank you guys! Bailey LOVED Disneyland!!! I will post pictures another day today I will catch you up to speed with beach camping. By the way- there are a ton of big fires around Santa Barbara and the ashes are all the way to our house, today it looks like it's raining ashes! Crazy...

Chris and Bailey had their first experience beach camping last weekend, and they loved it. The first night we got there Bailey was throwing temper tantrum after temper tantrum and would not go to sleep so I was nervous that she would be that way the whole weekend. She was SO good the rest of the time though! She slept like an angel and had so much FUN playing in the sand (and eating it!) Saturday was perfect it was almost 90 degress outside, Chris even went boogie boarding for a while. {I loved watching him out in the water! He had a blast!} Bailey loved watching the waves, she kept saying "WHOA!!!" when the waves would crash. We played in the sand a lot and they had a little playground on the beach so Bailey was in heaven. We played the whole ~run away from the waves~ game with Bailey and she would squeal the whole time out of excitement. One time a little itty bit of water came up and knocked her over, after that she was not a fan of the water. :( Hopefully she will forget about that and still be my little water baby! We had so much fun spending some good quality time with my family. Bailey loved the time with them and especially time with her cousins. She is totally in love with Ava and loves hugging and kissing her.

We camped by lifeguard tower 10!!! {The Blake's lucky number!}
