the beach

We just got back from a very exhausting, but totally worth it weekend at our aunt's condo in Port Hueneme. It was great to be in a different place, with different parks, within walking distance of the ocean...you get the picture. It was so nice of Noonie to let us use her place and we are grateful for the fun getaway.

We went to Santa Barbara on Sunday. There were some people raising money for a wildlife organization. They were letting people hold snakes in return for a small donation. Cam jumped right in and held one. He enjoyed it, but I think the snake was a little too boring for him. :)



We ate at our favorite restaurant, Palazzio's. What a sight we must have been. Kendall is in her yelling phase and exercised this throughout the meal. Then Cam was loudly asking everyone that passed by, "EXCUSE ME. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?". Luckily it wasn't too crowded so we weren't annoying that many people. :)


An after-meal dessert of frozen yogurt, minus the actual yogurt. Cam isn't a fan of frozen yogurt or ice cream, but boy he loves the toppings!


This is right below Noonie's condo. Cam loved walking on the logs.


Overall the car rides were awesome, as far as the kids were concerned. However, I was VERY ready to be out of my designated spot between the car seats in the back. Here we are about 30 minutes from home and VERY ready to be there. :)

Glad you got to get away and enjoy being somewhere different. Looks like the weather was gorgeous.

Car rides are hard... that's great that you fit in between the car seats in yours :) We can't really fit a person in between ours so I am always turning around.

What a beautiful view! So happy you were able to go!

If I were that snake, I'd be ready to be handed back. He looks a little scrunched up. :o)
