Camping in Carpinteria

You read the title right...Briana went camping. I know...I know...I hate the beach, the sand, the dirt, the bugs, and the outdoors for that matter, but I sucked it up and our family spent 2 days and one (looong) night camping. We drove up to Carpinteria to day after Ethan's birthday. We spent our time camping with Jon's mom, his sister Janell's family, and his sister Joanna's family. We spent the days at the beach. Ethan played in the sand and in the ocean (most of you know what I think about the ocean...thanks mother). He had no fear and would run right into the waves if we let him. He also loved chasing the sea gulls on the shore. In the even, we went out to dinner at a Mexican eatery and my son got a hamburger. This so much reminded me of my own brother at this exact age. Back at camp, Ethan roasted marshmallows and ate smorse, he played a few games of uno, and was read a few stories from his favorite book. Ethan loved camping and Jon did too. I was on my best behavior...I promise.
