We decided to take the boys on a little vacation to CA before school started. We went to CA for two nights. We had so much fun and have decided that mini vacations are the way to go. Not enough time to get on each others nerves and the whole time was fun.
We left our house on Wednesday morning about 5:30 am our time. We wanted to get to the beach by 11 ish CA time. Boys were so good in the car. The first night we stayed in Newport beach. Our hotel was maybe 1 1/2 miles from the beach. We drove straight to the beach and stayed and played until it was time to check into our hotel room. We brought boogie boys and that is all the older boys did. They had so much fun.
Caleb loved the Ocean. His favorite was when we would sit and let the waves get our legs. He would say: "Bring it On". He loved looking for shells and wading in the water.
Jared LOVED boogie boarding. He only left the water long enough to get some lunch and water, because I made him. 
Caleb loved playing in the sand.
This is Drew running Jared over with his boogie board.
Jared and his baywatch moment.
Drew had SO MUCH fun. He didn't want to leave.
Caleb even tried to boogie board.
We had so much fun. But we found out that when you boogie board you get sand in places you would never think of. We kept finding it for days.

What a perfect mini trip! I remember dad saying when he and mom took us to the beach, he spent so much time counting heads - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. He saved me at least once from an undertow!
Ooooh the beach is such a wonderful place isn't it?? That's what my family grew up doing and I miss it so much! And yes...the sand is terrible. I got so much in my ear once (from getting taken out by waves) that my mom had to construct a coil out of wire to scoop it out!
I sure wish you guys lived closer to us!
That's fantastic that you decided to do a mini trip to the beach. It looks like the most fun.
That sounds like a perfect vacation!
