Camping at Leo Carrillo State Beach!

We just returned from our second vacation of the summer, a camping trip to Leo Carrillo State Beach in Malibu. It was a lot of fun, especially since we had such a large group this time around. The kids were in heaven with both Grandmas on the trip! Grandpa Ed and Irene also came and visited us the first day that we were there and helped us put together the pirate ship kite that Grandma Zukie got for the boys. Sam and Ben especially loved the kite.

All three boys really loved the beach this year. Will and Ben loved splashing at the shoreline and running away from the waves and Sammy had a great time with his sand toys. We set up a big shade canopy and spent about 5 hours there the last day of the trip. The kids were having so much fun that we hated to leave. Leo Carrillo also has tide pools and the boys thought it was really cool to see starfish, sea anenomes, and sea urchins.

Everyone also enjoyed the campfires, smores, and banana boats around the fire every night. All in all, a great trip!
