• We went camping last weekend.  The spot was really beautiful.  We went to San Onofre State Beach, camping on the bluffs.  Here is a picture from our camp spot.

  
  

  
  The Steins and the Cardinas’ came with us.
  

  On Sunday the Stein’s neighbors came too, Micah and his sister Hannah, and Micah’s friend Jordan.
  
  There was about a 5 minute walk to the trail that went down to the beach — a 1/4 hike down hill.  That was a killer.  Not so bad going down, but coming back up in the blazing sun was YIKES!

  
  

  
  

   
  

  
  Here’s us going down.  Val, Elizabeth and their friends are taking down 3 surfboards (you can only see two, but if you look at the shadow, there’s three – Val and her friend are holding the 3rd surfboard with their other arm…). 

  
  

  
  

  Elizabeth bought a surf board last week. 
  

  She has been surfing one or two times before this, but I think for the rest of my girls, this may have been the first time, definitely for Julie and Grace (not sure about Val).

  They all got up!!

  Beautiful sun sets every night.  We walked to then end of the bluff each night and watched it set. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
   
  Then we hurried back to camp to watch the moon rise (because it was a full moon).  Here are the kids in awe of it as it rises.
  
  
  We played games
  
  
  We played and sang worship music (we had two sets of bongo type drums so everyone could join in playing).
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  We sat around the fire for hours at night talking and laughing (and of course toasting marshmellows – and for those late night munchies — roasted hot dogs, too!)
  
         
  
  In general a good time was had by all — Praise God for the good memories and fun times!
