It's been ages since my last post. Most days are filled with the mundane: School. Chores. Daily life with 5 kids.
But there have also been some really fun moments where we've gotten to enjoy things we miss while in PNG. The beach is one of those things. Being a California girl who spent almost her whole life just a few miles from the beach, I've really missed not being close to the beach while we are in PNG. So its been fun to take advantage of some warm days and just go play!
One of the best beach trips so far was when we went to Santa Barbara and spent the day with my cousin and her family. We hadn't seen them in 7 years, so it was a great time to catch up. The kids had a blast digging and playing in the water. Kaitlyn got to go body boarding and once she started, we couldn't get her out of the water. She stayed out there till dark! We ended the afternoon with roasting hotdogs and marshmallows over the fire. It was a great day playing with cousins!

A few weeks back, we had the nicest weather of our whole time back so far. Here on the Central Coast, summer doesn't really kick in until September when the fog goes away and the warm weather comes. So we took advantage of a hot Saturday to spend the day at Pismo Beach. We packed a lunch and sand toys and had a wonderful, relaxing day. The kids dug and splashed, and then we walked down the beach to explore the caves and tide pools.
