California 2012, Part 2

Asilomar

We had some of the best weather yet during our trip this year.    The first couple days were so clear and warm. And one day there wasn't even a breeze. It was so nice to be on the sunny beach and feel warm! Asilomar is normally what the boys refer to as "the cold beach." Even if it's sunny, the cool breeze off the water makes a sweatshirt feel nice.   :)

The boys loved playing with the other cousins. One of their favorite games was Sharks and Minnows.   They would chase each other around the big room and all you would hear is the thunder of a dozen kids running and squeals of laughter (ok, and the occasional crying).

Of course the sand was a big hit. Whether it was in the volleyball court right outside our rooms or the beach.   Erin just like being where everyone else was and watching them play. :)   Oh, and the boys got to have "sprinkler baths," as Andy put it. We had a handicap room and therefore a removable shower head. They don't really take showers yet, so we didn't know how well it would go. But Andy told them they got to have special "sprinkler baths" and they thought they were great. You could hear screaming and laughing from our room at bath time. :)

As always, our time as Asilomar goes way too quickly. But it's so good to see everyone and I can't wait for next year!
