I feel like the slacker of the family, seeing as how both Andi and Katie have already posted pictures of the annual Santa Cruz trip and they both have little kids. As most of you know every year my family heads up to Santa Cruz to go camping and every year it gets a little bit harder to convince my dad it's a good idea. This year was a bit different for me. Not only did I leave for the day on Saturday to go to school but I also had a boy sleeping in my tent with me! Thanks to my work we had our very own tent too. Nick wasn't able to make it up until Friday night. I didn't want to wait so I went up on Thursday with my family and spent Friday at the beach with Mason playing some wave tag.
Nick spent his first real day up there hiking with everyone up to the Observation Deck and having as much fun at the beach as they could on an overcast day.

Sunday we went to the tide pools and had a lot of fun looking at the mussells, star fish, crabs and sea anemones. We even convinced Lucas to touch a star fish! We had a lot of fun and I was glad that Nick and I actually got to spend a least one day together. Unfortunately, and I'm fearing it might become a trend, I got sick with the flu the night that we got home. I'm glad it waited until after all the camping though. Hey, it gave me another day off of work!

So sad that I couldn't go! But one thing, you head down to Santa Cruz, not up Mur! And to think, you teach people's children.
I am so glad you guys came camping we had lots of fun and Lucas loved going to the Tide-Pools so Thank You for taking him.
Well, you aren't the last one to post camping. But I have an excuse. My secret agent life has been keeping me busy.
Wait a tick...did you cut your hair? Someone *nudge* forgot to tell me that you're so in right now...oh before I seem like a hyprocrite..I got my hair cut too, not as much as you though - didn't want that to come back and bite me.
I love how that wave snuck up on you guys. I'm sitting at work,
laughing not so quietly to myself, and then there was a little gasp when I felt as though Mason's shoulder was going to dislocate...he's a child Mur, not a doll, though I know it's hard to tell the different with that little face of his! :P
