Sea Ranch

 

We took the most amazing trip to Sea Ranch with Cameron's side of the family! It was the funnest, most relaxing 5 days. This is from our stop in Sebastopol on the drive up to meet up with Cameron's friend Bria.

After the drive to Sea Ranch! Poor Violet got pretty sick on the windy drive up and threw up a few times.

Just the most beautiful place!

Hunting for shells/abalone at Bowling Ball Beach.

This little guy LOVED the beach. It was the perfect place for him to roam and explore. (And bonus: nothing for him to destroy!)

Ford and Davis, cutest little cousins.

Brendan helping everyone find sand crabs.

Max's shell and crab pieces collection. He was really into finding crab pieces.

Kathy brought all this fun stuff to make jewelry. It was such a fun way to spend the afternoons!

Kathy drilling holes in the abalone for necklaces.

Violet with the necklace she designed (and I followed her instructions to make it for her).

We went swimming at the HOA pool.

We spent one morning exploring the tide pools. 

Finding starfish was the best. Max really wanted to keep one.

We did a lot of laundry this trip.

Max called this his "cloncher" necklace.

All the jewelry Andy made.

Greg and Kathy watched the babies while the rest of us went kayaking! It was so fun.

We found this starfish on the beach and let Max keep it.

Madi road her kayak down this and it was very entertaining.

Making sand candles on the beach.

Family shot!

Violet is obsessed with Ford.

The forever sand baby.

We spent the day in San Francisco before we flew out. Cameron doesn't love Pier 39, but he powered through for the kids. Also, not pictured is how the kids fell in love with the Disney Channel Original Movie "Zombies" and we listened to the soundtrack the entire drive down from Sea Ranch. Maybe that didn't help Cameron's mood either.

Sweetest sleepy head.
