Oxnard 2015

We are back from our beach vacation to Oxnard! It is one of my favorite weeks of the year!
Here were some of our highlights!
We meet up in Simi Valley and then caravan the rest of the way...
 We arrived:
And ran directly into the waves...
Dinner at one of our favorites, Toppers Pizza:
Time at the beach every day!
 Surf fishing:
 Best little buddies:
Seeing so many DOLPHINS!
(We counted at least 7!)
Irish darts:
And watching lots of sunsets each night!
Rincon beach and tide pools:
And lunch at Padaro Grill in Carpinteria:
 Our view while we ate...
Eden learned how to ride her bike!
And then riding to the local "Pirate Park" that my kids just love!
The guys went to LA to watch the Dodgers and Angels play:
Kit's parents were there and they all got hats and got to run the bases!
(It really doesn't get better than that for Ryder!)
The girls went out to eat and watched movies and played at the park:
Another day, the guys also went to the Dallas Cowboys training camp:
(There was lots of sporting events to enjoy this year, that's for sure!)
Every day I ran, and this was my "trail":
(It was incredible...)
Our annual photo shoot:
The cousins:
 The cousins with their Mia and Papa:
The whole family:
We have been coming to this beach, to this specific house, every summer, since Ryder was born.  The week was filled with adventures, eating, laughing, talking, connecting, speculoos cookie butter ice cream, playing games, drinking pina coladas, watching movies, and just enjoying that we got to be together and be family!  We look forward to it every year and I love it so much, and I am always so sad when it has to come to an end.  The house is already booked for next year, so we are already excited for next year!♥
