We're back . . .

and it feels so good. We have had such a busy summer with a lot of fun trips. Our vacation to Carpinteria was a blast. I love spending time with family, and camping trips are always a big hit with the kids. About this trip I want to  remember. . . walks to Foster's, sandy kids, warm showers, camp fires, Kelsie discovering the ocean, scorched marshmallow's, hobo's, Santa Barbara shopping, gopher's, four square smashball, cool beach air, the way it fees to swim in the Ocean, mafia, Tacos to Go, Claire taking care of business, Donut runs, Mitch screaming at bath time, Sea Foam, Ed's Dutch Oven Cooking, my two brother's sand-free immaculate tents, Farmer's Market, giant sand crabs, and long beautiful day's on the beach.
