Carlsbad Wednesday 7/22

I know, I know - don't I have ANYTHING else to blog about?  Well, yes, but I have to do this post and one final other about our day trips to Carlsbad a couple weeks ago.  Each visit was so different because we went with different people.  On this lucky day, my mom and my sister decided to brave the outing with 5-month-old Lilly, who is Brooklyn's only girl cousin on the McKendrick side.  The picture above is my favorite from the day.  It was taken after Grandma took Brookie for a walk to find shells.Most of these pix. need no explanation.
The sista's and our girls!  Pip, I know you're gonna love this one.  If you hate it that much, I can remove it... HA!
A 3-generation picture.  Mom's gotta find a signature red hat for only the most memorable outings, including Peru, 1999?
Me and my sister again, this time with her eyes looking normal.  I'm so mean!
The next 2 pictures show why the hallelujah chorus played through my mind for about an hour as I bounced around in some waves, by myself, and loved every minute of it! 
What can be more rewarding to a mom...
than her kids' overlapping nap times at the beach?
These two were a cute pair in their pink outfits.  It brings me back to the time when I shared memories like this at the beach with these same grandparents.  I think they look about the same as they did almost 30 years ago!  Mostly.

Babe- I don't think I was quite prepared for this or even knew what it would be like to take a 5 month old to the beach. These pics are nasty of me but hilarious of my daughter's legs! She LOVED the water. Brookie was cute right beside Lil!
