The Brown’s

I am definitely the biggest blog procrastinator! This post has been on my list of things to do since the day we got home (September 19th)....so here goes.....

This year our big family trip was to a beach house in Oceanside California for 1 week! We flew out early on a Saturday morning and came home late in the afternoon on the following Saturday. We had a total blast - here was our agenda:

Saturday: Arrive, Go straight to Legoland

Sunday: Beach

Monday: Beach

Tuesday: Disneyland - Carson's favorite ride - TOWER OF TERROR (he is only 3 and barely tall enough to ride, but loved every minute of it)...Grace's favorite rides - Matterhorn and Soarin'!!!

Wednesday: Beach

Thursday: Beach

Friday: Farmers Market in the am, Beach rest of day

Saturday: Pack, clean and cry as real life starts to settle back in....fly home.

As you can see, we didn't do a lot except for sit and eat! I feel like I ate and ate and ATE....good thing I am pregnant so I could blame my hand to mouth problem on "eating for two"!!! The kids had a total blast living in their swimsuits, playing with cousins and hanging out on the beach! Since we have been home, both Grace and Carson have asked me several times when we are going back to the beach! I was a little nervous wondering how Chloe would be, but she was AMAZING!!! She napped regularly, hung out in her stroller on the beach and the few times we let her down.....she headed straight for the ocean and LOVED every minute of it! You will see from some of the pic's below, she would have no problem being a California-girl! It was so fun to go with family and friends so our kids would entertain each other and we had the opportunity to spend time with family and create memories together. I hope we can make this work for next year....with baby #4 coming the end of January.....I don't know how "relaxing next year would be".....we are going to TRY, TRY, TRY to make it work next year......we'll see.....here are some pic's from our trip:
