Doheny Camping!

It's Doheny camping time!  This is our favorite camp spot which is located in Dana Point, along the beach.  It's about impossible to get a spot since you have to book 6 months out and beach front is taken in seconds from opening.  But as you can see in this photo, we got beach front!  Site number 87 and it was perfect.  After arriving on Thursday, we unpacked and settled in.  Tatum stayed in San Diego with Grandma since she had a field trip the next day to the Birch Aquarium that she definitely didn't want to miss.  So Ty and Isaac got lots of one on one time!

After a wonderful first night, we took a morning walk on the beach

This was our first camp trip with Ryan along.  The boys enjoyed strolling and chatting...

and Lee and I always love our LJ time.

Then we pulled our chairs and umbrellas out to a beach spot in front of our camping place and started playing in the sand.  We almost berried Isaac! :)

And then Ty got into it.

A nice family moment by the water

Our favorite Aunties payed us a visit around 3 and we all enjoyed the beautiful weather.

Ryan brought two really cool kites that the kids loved!  They were trick kites, and by trick I mean it was a trick to figure out how to keep them from nose diving into the sand. :)  But Ryan got it down after only a few attempts and the kids loved helping him by running and picking up the kite and throwing it back into the air.

Grandma and Tatum made it to the campsite around 3 as well!

Then it was time for some evening bike riding before dinner.

Walking the camp spots, just like the good ol' days

Watching the sunset and saying good night to another great beach day.

The next morning Lee had to take Isaac to meet his dad, so we borrowed the bikes and took a family bike ride.

Ty loved Isaac's big cruiser!

Hang ten bra!

Even though the jazz festival was going on down at the Doheny day camp area, the Jazayeri's and the Miller's were able to find spots to park a few miles away and Garrett chauffeured them in.  All the kids enjoyed seeing each other and playing in the water.

The BFFs

And the cute couple

All the kids loved Ryan and here they are waiting by his tent door, hoping he'll come out and play soon. :)

Waiting for smores

Tatum loved hanging with Kylie, too cute!

Roasting the marshmallows!

Yum!  Ryan brought the Washington version of smores which is a marshmallow on top of a Reeses pb cup, between two cookies.  Delicious!

We had an awesome camping trip and an amazing spot.  And such wonderful friends to enjoy it with.  We'll definitely be back again!
