LIFE'S A BEACH
I promise that one of these days when Toby and I hit the lotto we are moving to Pismo opening up a RV park. Having a section reserved for "Family Only" and live the life. We have it all planned. Toby and Dickie will be the camp hosts and maintenance people. Laurie and I will run the office and I will be in charge of camp events. Yep, just you wait and see. One of these years you will be making your reservation at "Life's a Beach RV Park".

Didn't get to spend nearly enough time there but had a great time still. Left at 3:oo a.m Saturday arrived about 10 a.m. Left for Avila Beach at 11 and got to the hotel at 4:30. Took showers and realized that I had 2 very fried little girls. Did apply sunscreen but nearly not enough and of course Kalah, my "coppertone baby" INSISTED on using sunoil and fried in it! Went for Pizza at 7:00 and by the time we left at 9:00, Tarin had met her "Summer Love". A 17 year old, mind you, who I thought was 20 and who fell head over heels in love with my baby!!!!




The next morning walked the pier and DJ and Tarin got talked into eating chocolate covered worms







Their faces and the water tell it all.

Pretty much ate, when to the fruit barn,ate, hung out, ate and shopped after that. Left on Tuesday saying "We should've stayed longer", especially when we left and it was only 62 degrees (we even asked them to turn the patio furnaces on as we ate our lunch) and drove back into town with the temperature reading a blazing 113 degrees. That sucked big time!!!

A few more shots of our vacation:

So once again, I find out how easy it is to get behind on these things. I better start with the 4th of July and go from there.



On Thursday the 2nd we went to Seastrand park for the firework show. This is our second year doing this and I have to tell you, I just love it. Everything is pretty kicked back. A band plays and there is always plenty enough food and drinks. Then at about 9:30ish the fireworks start. This isn't a 5 minute deal either. It lasts a good 15 minutes if not more and its all done to music. Last year we lucked out cause our favorite band "Yellow Brick Road" was there. This year was a really good band too, unfortunately I never got their name. They sang a lot of Doobie Brothers, Michael Jackson, Michael McDonald songs. It was Toby, Kalah, Tarin, Tarin's friend, Brandi (my niece) Kylie Jo, Camdyn, Joe and Uncle Bill (daycare kids and their dad and uncle) and myself all there so it was pretty fun. We've been trying to talk Josh, Awburn and Aunt Laurie to join us, but they have yet to venture. Maybe next year. The next morning we left at 5 to head to Bakersfield for the weekend. Had a great time staying with Josh and LeAnn. Went to Crystal Palace for dinner and danced. Kalah had never been so she was happy and of course Tarin loves doing the pretzel with her brother so she was good once she got to do that. Spent the fourth with Dick, Theresa and the gang at their house. Swimming. eating, bbqing, eating, visiting, eating, gossiping, eating and of course the firework show that cousin Andy put on for us. It was a lot of fun but I was exhausted. Came home on Sunday and started getting ready to head back out the next weekend for the beach.
