8 friends, 4 kids, 1 amazing weekend

We took our annual trip to Oceanside, CA to stay at our dear friends Karen's parents house on the beach. Here is a link to the pictures. This is our third year vacationing at St. Malo and it was fun to reflect on the many changes in those three years. This year there were 4 babies Reed (9.5 months) Maya (10 months), Carter (17 months) and Alita (20 months) and 8 adults.

We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends with kids all near the same age. During the weekend we enjoyed many wonderful meals, volleyball and tennis matches, bike rides and long overdue conversations with our friends. The kids provided non-stop entertainment and laughter as well. This trip was especially noteworthy because Reed became a lot more vocal and he learned to crawl forward!
