Week Two in Oceanside – the Beach House

Grandma Lynne generously rented a beach house in Oceanside for a week as everyone’s Christmas present this year. It was a great chance for Hunter to catch up with his cousins and for all of us to just “play”. Being right on the beach, everyone could just come and go from the ocean all day, which was also helped by the hot tub… where you could just chill out – or eat ice-cream!

Everyone had a great time out in the water surfing or boogie boarding…

We also had lots of sand castle building, kite flying and bubbles throughout the week.

No family trip to Oceanside is complete without stopping at Legoland, which never disappoints and always has some new experience or highlight.On our way home we stopped at the local strawberry fields for bargain priced strawberries fresh from the field!

No family vacation is without it’s ups and downs, especially with twelve people in one house. We all survived, finished happy and are grateful to have been able to spend quality time together again this year.
