Carpinteria Beach. Family Reunion Style.








   The kids goofy picture at the Tide Pools









Every other year my family does a family reunion. It's been in Idaho at my Grandpa's place, in Bear Lake, in Utah and in Utah.

Top Ten Highlights:
1-Family Talent Show with Knock knock jokes told, a studio C type sketch (done by my kiddos all on their own) and a cousin of a cousin Sage dancing up a storm.

2-When Aunt Janie pulled out Grandma Patty's costume jewelry and handed it out in bags with our names on it- specially thought out- and seeing Elizabeth's eyes glow. So sweet! Miss Grandma!

3- Playing in the ocean! The water was cool but you got used to it! Lovely!

4. Yummy food. My sister had the menu spot on. Of course, when you are not a foodie pretty much anyone else's menu rivals your own!

5. Chatting around the campsite- I love just sitting and chatting. It's awesome!

6. The tide pools- I love squishing the sea anemones until they squirt and seeing the kids faces as they discover new things.

7. Ladies Walk on the Beach- so fun to just walk and chat on the sandy beach.

8. Sunset walk on the beach with Josh. Love!

9. Early morning Yoga/Meditation. Love the real life waves and the fresh air!

10. Fish Tacos- one of my favorites! So yummy!

Worst lowlight:

-My sister catching a wave wrong while boogie boarding and breaking her nose  and chipping off part of her jaw. She's okay, but it was rough for a moment there!

Despite that lowlight, we had a great reunion and hope to go back to Carpinteria soon!
