San Clemente Mini-Vay

Over the weekend of Grace's birthday, we camped at San Clemente with Grama and Papa! The kids had a blast. We went Thursday so we had time to relax and have some fun before Grace's mini party on Saturday. The weather was perfect - not too chilly and not too hot, just right.

 Tortilla soup was our dinner for the first night.

 Gracie thoroughly enjoyed opening up some of her birthday presents, since it was her real birthday.

 Maggie pretty much got into trouble the whole time we were there. The first night, we were in the camp site for a while and then decided to go for a walk. We were gone a while and then I decided to put her down to walk. She opened her mouth and drooled out a rock. God only knows how long it had been in her mouth. It's seriously amazing that she survived this weekend.

 She's not a huge fan of the beach yet. She still sleeps a lot down there, I guess the sounds of the waves are too relaxing.

 Jack and Grace, however, never want to leave.

 Grama made her a special cake for her birthday night.

 And of course they had hot cocoa in the morning.

Gracie really wanted to have soda on her birthday. So Daddy let her choose the kind that she wanted - she chose grape (gross). So the second night, Grace and Grama each had grape juice.:) Cheers!

 Friday night, Uncle Craig and Auntie Carla came to have dinner. Grace got even more presents and we went on a little walk. Sometimes Jack reminds me so much of my brother.

 Jack rode his bike exploring the whole trip. It's so fun to know that I used to do the same thing when I was a kid.

 We hiked in the same places too.

 Jack told Gracie scarey stories the whole time and really really made her worry...

Saturday was the big party day, Reese and Tatum played with us during the day.

And then the party began...

What a fun trip!
