Every other year my family has a Beach Week of our own...Morgans family has always gone to Oxnard CA and my family hasn't really been able to find our "just right" beach so they decided to give Oxnard a try! Everyone LOVED it...(not that we were surprised)
They weather was a glorious upper 60's, low 70's all week with half the days cloudy and half the days sunny...oh it was wonderful...and the company wasn't bad either :)
We had my parents, all 6 original Porter kids, their spouses (except Trev...we missed you! but were glad not to have to share Bridger with you all week ;)...), and our children making a grand total of 27 people! 12 adults, 11 kids, 3 toddlers and one infant :) Do the math...was I right?
We had a fun filled weekend to say the least but I'll let the pictures do most the talking...
My dad...I'm pretty sure as a dad/grandpa it doesn't get better than that
Emery loved loved the sand and playing with her cousins
Courtney found us the coolest farm in Moorpark, about a half hour from where we were staying, where they have tons of animals and fun things for kids to do...and we got to pick our own fruit! We pretty much stuck to the strawberries but there was so much more...we will definitely be bringing Morgs family here when we go back next month ;)
Back at the beach!
Morgan, Eda, Nat and I took the bigger kids down to the jetty to see the dolphins and seals and there were plenty! (no pictures of the animals however...dolphins and seals are fast...)
Morg and Em ventured a little farther than the rest of us...right after they left a big huge wave came and crashed right where they were standing haha...scary!
hmmm...
We really had a blast and these kids were amazing all living in such tight quarters...no one was injured which in of itself is a miracle...and we all still love each other :)
A big thanks to my parents first and foremost for providing a place for us all to be together...but also thanks for the food (lots of food), the Tide, the Clorox, the soap and much much more :)
YAy for Oxnard!!! Thanks for sharing your room with me and loving in my itty bitty baby! Love you Love you Love you!
