Beach camping in October has become a little reason that we enjoy with our friends, the Nydams. We always have so much fun and this year was no different! We stayed at Doheny State Beach for the first time and LOVED it. It's right on the ocean so it makes going to the beach super easy. Of course or trip included, games, camp fires, bike rides, yummy food and lots of laughs :)
Having 4 kids play soccer is a little crazy, but they have so much fun! I think picture day has been my craziest day of the season yet! Thankfully, Gracie played her game on Friday night, so there were only 3 games, 4 team pictures and a pizza party. I made myself a spread sheet just to make sure I had everyone where they needed to be on time and the day was a success :)
Wesley has had it in his head that when he turned 5 he could get a "booster" instead of a "baby carseat" & since his carseat was pretty beat up and nasty, I decided it was a good idea. He was SO excited to go pick one out and chose a "laser" one (it's black with red diagonal stiched lines) He wanted me to take his picture and post it on picture-gram :) Do they really have to grow up so fast?? I swear, just yesterday he was rear facing in his carseat with his little head propped up... :/
We love field trips!! A lot of places offer a special day for homeschoolers, so if or schedule allows we try to include it into our learning. The Aquariam of the Pacific is such a great place, although the drive is long, it's worth it! This year my folks met us there, as well as my sister Holly and her boys. We spent a good 4 hours looking at all the exhibits, ate some lunch together and then I went to Aliso Viejo to pick up a soccer banner. We had a great day!!
