Out of hibernation

I have been in blogger hibernation lately! Been super busy with photography and just life in general...not to mention Facebook takes up my free time and it's so easy to stay in touch with people that way! :)

Anyway, we just returned from a weekend trip to San Diego! The kids were AWESOME during the entire trip which made everything that much more fun! Sunshyne, Chris, and the kids even drove down one day to hang with us on the beach!


Our resort was actually on Mission Bay...which was nice and peaceful and private!


The water was still pretty chilly so Daddy got the "carry me" request a lot.


Team work is needed for awesome sandcastle building!


Baby Ethan...he's almost one year old already!



Mason got obliterated with sand in the face...he wasn't too happy about it.



Check out Makenzie's leaps into their homemade sand bathtub!



And of course, Mason had to get naked on the beach!



Makenzie was filling up the "bathtub" for Ethan and Hannah.



The kids even found silly ways to entertain themselves in the hotel room!


And they even posed for a picture!


Our last day in San Diego, we rented bikes and drove the kids around on the boardwalks. It was the most fun ever! The kids were quiet and happy...they couldn't fight because they were in separate bikes, and we got to see a lot of the beach without having to walk!


We took the kids to Hooters one evening (simply because this restaurant is louder than my children)...and Mason kept himself entertained by sticking crayons up his nose.

The lobby in our resort had the most beautiful waterfall and fish pond...the kids LOVED this!

Hannah and Makenzie were brave enough to let the guys bury them...Mason wanted nothing to do with this!

The waterfall in our resort lobby again....

We took the kids over to Belmont park to ride some rides.

Since the 8 of us are rarely together all at the same time, I insisted on getting a group shot!

Mommy and Hannah...self photo.

Our resort even featured live bird exhibits daily...the kids loved talking back and forth to them! It was hilarious!

Thank you for the update from the non-FBer. It seems everyone is giving on the blogging trend!!

The pictures were gorgeous, as usual. Glad you guys escaped the heat and had so many fun times.

They are all such wonderful photos. The beach family photo would have been perfect if Hannah wasn't making such a silly face. :)

Also, I think you need to invest in some bikes back home!
