Lori and the boys left a week ahead of me, traveling to San Diego. After a couple quick days at
the grandparents, Lori, her parents and the boys headed out for a week of beach camping. I flew in a week after the rest of my family had left, but not before the boys had enjoyed a trip to Sea World, the San Diego Zoo, and many afternoons in the Sun at the beach.
Let's just say they boys love the beach. While Matthew is more content to play in the sand and get his feet wet, Garrett attacks the waves with abandon. I'm sure if we lived near the ocean I would barely know my son. He'd spend all day, every day trying to catch the perfect wave. For now he's content to attempt to learn how to boogeyboard and to persuade his grandpa to take him in a tube (with lifejacket) out on the waves.
Of course there was all kinds of fun to be had. Lori's brother and sister and law joined us at the campground for the same days I was there. My own sister and her brood came by for a day and delighted the boys with extra attention and the catching of small ocean crabs. We played (sort of) football and frisbee and generally ran about having a good time.
Like I've already said, if Matthew's smile was any indication the beach was a hit.
Of course there was lots of time spent up at the campsite. One night Matthew entertained the gang by making all sort of strange, laugh-enducing faces. The pictures really don't do the evening justice.
And so when the last morning arrived we would have been very sad, but we knew we had one more stop on our Grand Vacation Tour: Disneyland. This, however, was something the boys did not yet know.
