lyla is smiling here, but only because we brought a fleece sweatshirt and three other blankets.  it was a bit overcast and once she gets cold, there is no stopping the crying.  so yay for smiles and blankets!

eli spent the entire time in the water.  he LOVES the water. when he ran out of people in our family that wanted to swim, he began making friends with whoever was around him. 

love.the.beach.

fort MacArthur

IMG_0486
we visited and toured fort MacArthur last week.  it’s in a beautiful setting along the cliffs of the ocean.  it was interesting to see and hear the forts history.  it’s been the set for many movies but never saw any wartime action, besides being a deterrent to the enemy.
