New Brighton, Day 1

This year we decided to start a tradition and have an annual "Circles" Camping Trip. Our destination was New Brighton State Beach in Capitola. Six families ended up coming and those that couldn't make it last minute were missed.

Leslie was giving Will some love, Carson didn't waste anytime trying out a new toy, and yes that is Liz showing off Will's tramp stamp and Curtis was a pyro right from the start.


After unpacking and saying our hellos our first task was to make dinner-Costa Vita salads, mmhh!


I didn't know that my picture was being taken, I think I was just thinking but I still look like I am going to hurt somebody! Knife in hand, glare on face, watch out fellow campers!

Dish duty, boys will be boys!

Chill'in by the fire.

Reiko making her very FIRST smore EVER!

Tasty!

That dirty after only a couple of hours

The girls.

The end of the first day came too soon, stay tuned for more camp happenings!

Candy


Last week my friend Brit took both our our Carson's on a little day trip to the Jelly Belly Factory. On the car ride there they were mimicking each other and of course wanting what the other had. Tours run all day and when we got there the line was short and we started almost right away. They gave us all hats that we were required to wear, the boys loved them!


Before the tour started they had us take group pictures and the one of the four of use turned out awesome but it wasn't awesome enough to buy for $22!! Outrageous prices. So we took each others pictures instead...love the carpet-not!

Carson strutting his stuff-he was actually mid dance but it looks like he is walking. I love the expression on his face! Throughout the tour a couple of people made the comment, "they're both Carson's?" Yes people, but our next kids WILL have different names.

These boys are a month a part and have so much fun together.

We ended out trip eating out and headed home with two sleepy boys only one of which took a nap that day. My Carson fell asleep for 10 minutes right before we got home and he thought that was his nap...he was a grouch but I put him to bed inhumanly early at 6:45pm-yikes I am turning into my mom!

When Carson was telling Andrew about what we did that day he said "Carson's car, candy and hat" our day in a nutshell.
