Jill's beach house

When we were on our way to drop off Priscilla at the airport, my cousin Marsix texted me and said they were in LA. They were on their way home from a road trip. It was so perfect. We decided to meet up at the beach and let the cousins play. 

I'm so grateful my kids have such wonderful cousins to hang out with. 

The babies of the family. 

There's nothing better than kids playing with water. 

My kids love their Castillor cousins so much. I hope they grow up to be best friends just like my cousin and I did. 

We even had a fun movie night. 

The kids watched "Honey I shrunk the kids"

The dads went to the store and bought Movie Theater candy and made a dad store! It was seriously such a great weekend and we were so happy our cousins came over to hang out with us. 

A couple of days later, Jill invited us over to her beach house. She rented a beach house for a week and Karin and Julia came with her and hung out with us. 

On Tuesday I wasn't able to make it because I had work but Mike took the kids out. 

Look at those cute cousins!

Annie LOVES the water. She tries to crawl into any little pond. 

Babies and their love of water. 

Jill's beach house was amazing. It was only a block or two from the beach. 

The babies enjoyed cousin time and treats. 

It even had a cute play house!

Annie: "Go away mom, I've got this"

Annie woke up early and Joseph was up too, so we went for a walk by the beach. It was amazing. 

The kids also learned how to boogie board this trip! They were in the water for hours! 

After the beach, we went over to one of our favorite parks. 

This was probably one of my most favorite vacations we've ever done. Being with family, being by the ocean, it was all so healing and it makes me even get teary-eyed looking at the pictures and these amazing memories. Thanks so much for inviting us Jill!  We definitely need to hang out by the beach a lot more.
