Beach Camping

This last week we went beach camping with our friends Matt & Jeannine. We went to South Carlsbad State Beach and we had such a fun time. We arrived Tuesday afternoon and stayed until Thursday afternoon. The weatherman lied, he said we would have sun all the days, however, it never appeared on Wednesday until late afternoon. We spent all day down at the beach covered up, waiting for the sun to come out. It would taunt us too, it would be so close to breaking through, and then it would get all dark again. That evening we went over to Carlsbad Village Inn, where Jordan's parents have a time share, and went in the warm pool, jacuzzi, showered and headed back. We had some excellent camp food while we were there, great breakfasts, and delicious BBQ'd dinners. We also always packed a lunch to take to the beach, and we had bonfires every night with smores for dessert. On our last day we got up, had breakfast, and packed up. We then headed back up to the beach in front of the Inn because they had sand, and the one in front of our camp had lots of rocks. It was kinda nice though, because the large barrier of rocks around us kept Clara contained, so she wasn't constantly heading towards the water. Clara was so good the entire time, she never tried to wander away from our camp ground, and we found a perfect place for her pack n' play in the trailer we borrowed from Matt's sister and brother-in-law. She slept great for being in a new place, and she adores Matt & Jeannine, and they are so good with her.

Making a yummy breakfast...blueberry pancakes, bacon, and eggs.

"Please mom, may I have some more?"

A morning ride with daddy...

A cold first day at the beach...but still fun!

The waves were great & Jordan caught some good ones!!

Warming up at the pool, finally some sun came through!

Lots of sunshine on this day...we probably all got way too much!

There were rumors of a beached whale spotting ;) at 38 weeks I can't say a bathing suit was my favorite option!

...Matt & Jeannine trying not to get too much sun...

Taking a break in the shade to read to daddy...she has such a huge vocabulary now, and she has her own gibberish language too, it's so cute!

It was a super relaxing three days, however, the unpacking and laundry wiped me out! I get a little panicked when the house is in shambles and there is so much to do and I could have this baby any minute! Thankfully everything is back in order, and that makes me feel better. We shall see, my baby countdown says 14 days, crazy!
