Rain boots...on the beach!?

We just got back from a great weekend of camping with our little family!  And had the best time!  We got a few funny looks, had a few funny things said on the camping trip and most of all, created some wonderful memories!!

My husband and I used to go camping, faithfully every summer.  We lived in Cali then and always headed down towards Santa Cruz for some beach camping and to "freeze" in the 70 degree weather down there!  After our daughter was born we did pretty well but with a second pregnancy, a cross country move and life, we have slacked a little bit!

While I won't bore you with all the details of our latest adventure, I will give you a few highlights:

01 Rain boots...on the beach!? 7

We have officially fallen in LOVE with the great lakes!!!!!  Amazing beach, beautiful clear water and just an amazing place!

02 Rain boots...on the beach!? 8

Our amazing daughter enjoyed camping, but I won't forget how she told us "I wish we could stay in a hotel!"  hahaha!

03 Rain boots...on the beach!? 9

And our son...our super cute son, HATES to get his feet dirty.  So we wore rain boots all over our camp site and rain boots at the beach as well.  We got a few funny looks, but at least he didn't remain perched on a camping chair the whole time we were at the beach (because that did also recently happen 🙂

So I am running a bit behind this week with mounds of camp-fire-smelling laundry to do, an appearance on Fox59 morning show tomorrow to prep for, a guest post for SheKnows to craft for and write :):):):) and I am video taping a few videos for my OWN website this week as well (which, sad to admit, I still need to decide what I am taping!!)

Anyone want a particular video tutorial?!?!

Whew!  I am exhausted just thinking about this week!

So here's to wonderful family memories and surviving this week!
