Four Jingle Bells

Final day at Huntington, so what did we do? Go to the beach, of course!! Walking to the beach is just great! Spencer was NOT a big fan of the waves, but he is a great builder in the sand. I love this kid!! He is such a creative and fun player. He can make something out of nothing! Blake took the kids to see Cars 2, so Brooke and I went to the beach alone. She was chilly so she got a towel wrap. Man, the life of a baby! We have always wanted to bury dad in the sand, but in good conscience, I couldn't suggest it since I definitely would not want to be buried in the sand. So, when he suggested it, we all jumped on it! He was a good sport. And took a nice bath in the ocean after. Will leave you with the cutest stinking 1 year old!! Thank you Crowders!!!

This was our first full day with dad on Huntington. It was nice to have him there for me and the kids! In fact, Brooke woke up in the middle of the night and just knew he was there and just wanted to snuggle with Blake. We woke up and watched cartoons and relaxed and took in the fresh air and beautiful weather! We went to the beach. I think we went 7 times in 3 days. It was great! Blake and Brooke took a little walk down the beach and it was so precious to watch them. Brooke just loves her dad and he just loves her! We went to the tide pools at Laguna. We could have spent the whole day there except that my flip flop got washed away!! Blake was very galliant and tried to get it back, alas, it is now floating somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean! I kinda wish my shoe would have had gps....that would be awesome to see the journey! It was so beautiful here!! We have never been anywhere like this. There were little hermit crabs and other animals swimming around the little...
