Oxnard 2013!

We had a wonderful time this last week with our family at the beach.  This is the fourth year we have stayed at this house and our 8th year getting away for a week vacation as a whole family.  We really look forward to this trip every year and we already can't wait for next year! Here are a few of the highlights:
This was our view from the house:
We spent lots of time at the beach:
 
 
 
 


 
Flying kites:
(It took four master's degrees to put that sucker together:)
Eden enjoyed her beach yoga time...
The best part was that the house had an outdoor shower and jacuzzi, so when our Littles were cold and very very sandy, it made it really easy to rinse them off and warm them up.
We rode our bikes:
(It was Eden's first bike ride because guess who finally got her own helmet!)
 
 
Pirate Park is a favorite of ours!
 Ryder talking to his cousin Max:
We went on a Duffy boat one day and had such a great time!
 
One day we went to the Ventura County Fair:
 Ryder was so brave and did a bungee jump trampoline:
 He looks so little!
 It was pretty perfect that he was wearing his Super Man shirt.
We loved looking at the animals:
The pig race was our favorite:
One day we went to lunch at the Padaro Beach Grill in Carpenteria 
 It had a beach area and a huge lawn for the kids to play in with sand toys.  They were in heaven! And the food was so tasty too!
The best part was getting family time:

Getting back from vacation is always tough: the laundry, the meal planning and grocery shopping, the resuming of the busy work schedules... Sheesh, vacation is a beautiful thing!
