Our One and Only Summer Camping Trip

 Sadly we only had one camping trip this Summer.  It was hard to find the time in-between the girls cross country practice, our trip to Kauia and other commitments we had already made.


Both girls reading!
Brooklyn found a book she wanted to read this Summer and I was very happy because she rarely reads anymore.



I love you beach camping trips!






I got the girls and I matching anklets



Camp nights


Why are teenagers anti pictures??



The next morning we woke up to clouds. It stayed cloudy the remainder of our trip but we made the best of it.



The girls needed to run so we started out all together and then Chris, Kayla and Brooklyn went off on their own to fun while I did a hike on my own.








I enjoyed taking my time and taking pictures. 





I did not enjoy seeing the snake trails! When the girls and Chris got back I got to hear how Brooklyn wasn't looking ahead and Chris had to grab her to stop her from running directly into a rattlesnake that was crossing by.



After our morning workouts it was beachtime


Followed by dinner and Shake Shack malts/milkshakes



The next morning it was time for another run and even thought I didn't think I'd be going on another hike due to the rattlesnake possibilities I ended up going anyway.


Thankfully I made it through without seeing one but Kayla saw one on her way back.


Beach and books on our last day



Leaving is the hardest when I know it will be a year before I am back in my happy place!

Last Summer Camping Trip

Summer already feels like it was so long ago but I can't keep posting until I get caught up and post our last camping trip of our Summer.  All three of the beach trips we had this Summer were so fun.  The girls all enjoyed our lazy beach days just as much as Chris and I did and it was always hard to say goodbye on our last day.





A little cloudy but warm





Sisters just hanging out and chatting away




After our beach day we walked over to the Shake Shack to grab some malts/shakes.  The views on the walk over were beautiful!





If you haven't been to Crystal Cove in Laguna Beach you must.  It is such a cute spot and seeing it at dusk was even better than being there during the day.





Our drinks were soooo goood!






We've been camping nearby for years but never ever took the time to walk over to Shake Shack but I can definitely say we will be from here on out.



Another beautiful day!










Kayla getting her run in even while on vacation.


She had to pause her reading when a bee landed on her book for a bit.







On our last night my in laws came by for a few hours to hang with us on the beach.



Our last night we grilled up shrimp and veggies followed by s'mores croissants for dessert.



Can't wait 'til next Summer!
