Can’t believe the summer is over.  With Logan’s camps and the cabana club this year, this summer break feels different than any other ones, and I am sad that it has come to an end.  Today Stuart took a day off so we could take a day trip to Monterey and Carmel.  The boys were very excited when we told them the plan.  We first arrived at the Dennis the Menace Park in the morning as the boys enjoyed it last time.  They had the most fun running through the hanging bridge and crawling the tunnels playing hide and seek.  We then took a short walk at downtown Carmel and had a seafood lunch there.  Then we headed over to the beach and we all immediately loved the warm weather and the soft sand.  It was a nice surprise that the weather was a lot warmer than we anticipated.  The boys could not wait to play near the water.  They had a blast and laughed so much while running toward and away from the waves.  They returned back to our tent to play with sand then back out to the water.  Stuart and Logan played with the football for awhile while Connor and I walked up the hill to use the restroom.  Before we knew it, it was already 4pm, so we packed up to take the drive home.  It was a fun family day!
