We spent the week after last Christmas at a family reunion with my parents and siblings (all except Tim, whom we missed) camping at Leo Carrillo State Beach. Parrish (who is practically a siblings) and Mindy camped with us and Richard, Lorna, Jodi and Ray spent time at the beach and museum catching up with us. My mom reserved the group camp, but it washed away in a flood (or something like that), so they relocated us to four or so regular sites and we took them over.
Mmm...we ate s'mores.
We took kids to the beach...
...and walked under the PCH to get there.
We took pictures of pelicans...
...and the adults tried (can you hear us all? Move over, hold still, stop picking your nose, etc., etc.) to line up the kids to take a group shot...
..which was sort of successful. I think we are still missing a couple.
Some of us also went to the The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. They had an insect zoo, where Rachel tried to eat lunch...
...and a children's area where the kids got to touch....
...and (getting silly now) to wear.
We kept busy with all the regular camping stuff, plus trying to stay dry in torrential rains...
...but still had time for puzzles...
...bubbles...
...and tattoos!
Matt and I picked some out for each other.

I loved spending time with my family and seeing Stan and the kids hang out with them. It is a treat we don't get to enjoy very often. Thanks everyone for coming!
