Sunday we went to church and then had a delicious birthday dinner for Brenn. Here is Kimbre and I doing dishes together probably doing more talking than cleaning. Love that girl, seriously love that girl :) 
We spent the evening watching old family movies and well that was hilarious to say the least. Christin if you are reading this we have some really funny movies of us with Dacia doing talk shows and other interesting things they are quite a kick. The next day Deke and I took the kids to see the Cabrillo national monument. 
It is a really neat lighthouse that has now been turned into a museum and they also have a military museum as well. I had never been to a lighthouse before and was amazed at the intricacy of the glass inside the lighthouse light. 
They even had a program that the kids did as we toured to become Junior Park Rangers which they loved. At the end of the day they had to raise their hand and repeat the oath and then they got their badges. That night we had these little mini pita pockets called "Pitettes" which I of course thought were so adorable I had to post a picture of them to show how small they were. 
We also spent a lot of time having girl time. Speaking of girls here is a cute shot of my girls amazingly with my balding little Emma not having a bow on her head which is a rare occasion :):)
On Tuesday Deke kept all the kids and the girls snuck away for a lunch at Claim Jumper for their delicious salads. Time without kids with the girls is always one of my favorite treats of the vacation. We always have so much fun and get to just visit. I love them so much. Why is it that Marley who is the youngest actually looks older than me? I loved getting to spend time getting to talk with her I can't believe she is going to be graduating this next year. 
On Thursday we took the kids to a different kind of beach. A very cold one but still fun including the seals and tide pools. 
Even though it was way to cold to get in the water we all had fun with buckets in tow finding all kinds of creatures inside the tide pools.
Crab seemed to be the most populated animal of the day however which was excellent in Hunter's opinion. 
He found all sorts of creatures including this little tiny hermit crab and some large crabs. 
We also found a couple of anenome's that were purple. Deke and Hunter chased crabs all afternoon and once Hunter buddied up with a little boy that had a crab net they were catching the larger crabs left and right. 
Avery however was not at all interested in catching crabs and was very content to find seashells and collect them in her bucket all day long. Throughout the week we also enjoyed other things like Toy Story 3 which Kimbre and I cried in :) Of course the ever so fun playing of the Wii Super Mario Bros. 
Family games, movie nights, the girls took us to H&M which I had never been to before but loved and was excited to hear that we will be getting one in AZ soon. We have been running non-stop packing in every second with fun.
