Camping Trip #1: Coronado Island

 
This summer, we had three very different camping trips planned. The beach, the woods, and the lake. And we are still trying to squeeze one more in. This is probably our busiest summer ever! We spent four days on Coronado Island at Silver Strand. It was soooo much fun! Our trailer was right on the sand so Blake's naps were very convenient. We saw lots of friends and got way too much sun!

The fam bam!

Uncle Aaron was in San Diego for a wedding so he came for the day.

My Nichole was staying in Del Mar so we all got to play in the sand one day!

My three boys love Aubrey, Hailey, and Charlie. I don't think we ever had to break up a fight... It was perfect. Nichole and I even got to sit on the beach and relax while Blake napped, Parker and Charlie took a break and watched a movie in the trailer, and the three big kids dug in the sand! With six kids between us, talking has become a luxury that doesn't happen often! Not to mention the fact that she lives in Las Vegas!

The Gradias family was staying at the alumni housing at Point Loma so of course we had to get together. Isaac has announced that he is going to marry Madison and Blake and Malia seem very comfortable around each other. Hmmmm.... ;)
 
One of Shaun's partners from work was camping with his family at the same beach. Great timing cause when we realized we forgot the seasoning for the zucchini we went straight to them. Here is Blake helping Blake ride the razor! :)
 

I could have sat in my chair and watched them for hours!

Our beach trio
 
Isaac is such a good big brother!
 
I think Isaac played the hardest and longest each day. By the last night he had to close his eyes for an hour and hold a cold cloth on them because they hurt so bad. If it's possible to burn your eye balls, then he did it!

We all know Parker has a cute smile but it wasn't showin' through pictures. However, here's proof that I tried on several occasions!

My goofy Blake. This little guy will smile at a camera even if it's not pointed at him! Check out the picture in the middle of the collage. We were sand dollar hunting one morning and I handed one to Blake. Next thing I know, he had taken a bite out of it. Duh, of course he would have no idea that it was a sea creature and instead think it looked like a yummy cookie! Oops, my bad! Yuck!

This trip started on our anniversary and this is the only picture we have of the two of us... How sad!
