The second week we were graced with the company of more family!
The Carbines came to join us in our fun at an awesome beach house on Mission Bay.

the beach house had so many great toys to play with

and the beach was so close

Rex was such a great sport at trying everything first

then he taught everyone else

the neighbor was so nice to come out and teach us

both Mike and Bobby tipped the boat when out with Rex

the girls however did a fine job :D

the water was fun!


and the beach was fun

cute Megan

and the all necessary burying of people


it was all so new and interesting to Leah

a friendly battle ensued in which Amelia lost

Emily trying her hand at kayaking

she did good and loved getting to try it all on her own

then Brandon had to give it a go

then Evan and Emily

no South California trip is complete without a visit to Sea World

this board was much easier

in the end this was the best it got

it was another new expeience

and the sand got tons of use

the kids loved the water in the bay

a little Manta Ray that Rex and Bobby spotted

Enough of the beach. So we went to see the USS Midway

how many buttons can you push?

I can push more than you.

the week would not have been complete without taking everyone to see tide pools

we saw lots of these anemones

tons of little crabs

taking it all in

touching the anemone

but mostly there were tons of these muscles

muscles among the muscles (silly boys)
