Oceanside!

We just got back from Oceanside, California yesterday. We went with three other families and rented a house on the beach. We were there for 8 days and all had a great time. When we first got there we went and visited Daron's grandpa who lives in San Diego and took him out to dinner.
As soon as we arrived at the beach house the kids were in the ocean, clothes and all.
Here's a picture from the balcony.
There were rocks we would climb down to get to the ocean and the kids had almost as much fun climbing on these as they did playing in the water.
Sunday after church.
After church we went to the Mormon Battalion Center in Old Town San Diego. We were very impressed with the building, tour and sister missionaries. We were excited to see what it was like since one of our favorite people is going to be a missionary there next month. She is currently in the MTC learning Spanish. She used to babysit our kids a lot, especially if Daron and I went out of town over night. Here they are after the tour panning for gold, pumping water, and making bricks.
