This year we got to go to Justin's family reunion at Carlsbad Beach. We didn't go last year, and so everyone was excited to go again. Spencer loved the sand and was wary of the water. Ellie dared to go out for a little body surfing this year. Meg and Grant splashed and looked for shells and had a great time. We all enjoyed seeing family. Thanks for the Beach Grandma Duck and Grandma Paula and Grandpa Mark!
Our view in the mornings (and yes, I did move Spencer into the bed each morning to get another hour or so of peace):
Spencer is a little obsessed with himself lately. When he sees me holding the camera he sticks his head close to it and poses like this:
This, I think, is my favorite picture I took this year:
Meg's eyeballs got a little sunburned so we tried to convince her to wear sunglasses. She insisted on wearing them above her eyes so that she could see.
