Ventura Beach

We spent one of my 3 day weekends in Ventura Beach, CA in the motorhome. I drove up after work on Friday. Whew! Am I glad I don't have to drive that traffic everyday. It was a great weekend with the sun shining and no clouds. It was a really relaxing weekend. Diva Cindy came by on Saturday with her friend and her kids to meet our kids. Noah was really great with them. She came back later on that night for happy hour and brought her husband. I have seen so many pictures of him in her scrapbooks but have never met the guy. It was a fun evening with chips, salsa, beer and enchiladas! Way to go Diva Cindy!! And by the way, with 2 scrappers there, who had a camera going? Oh that would be NO ONE! Bad scrappers. Don't tell Janet or Robi, we could lose our crowns over it. Well, as long as we don't lose the tangerinis.

We took the kids down to the beach and let them play in the sand. On Sunday, we went down to the Pier where there was better sand and a playground. They had a great time playing on it. We watched the waves roll in and threw rocks out into the water. For lunch, we went up to the pier and had a nice meal. Steve ordered sashimi and Brooke actually ate a piece of tuna. I was surprised. They weren't too much into the fish and more into the chips. I had a salmon sandwich and it was pretty good. After lunch, we headed back to the motorhome so everyone could take a nap. Gotta love a good nap!

The motorhome has become VERY interesting during sleep time. Brooke decided she was going to have a little adventure on Sunday evening. At 4am, she decided she was going to wake up, crawl out of her pack n play and jump into her brothers. I of course hear the shrieks coming through the monitor in the bedroom. I think I said something like, "you've got to be &*%$#@ me! It's 4 o'clock in the morning!" I go out there, put Brooke back in her bed, cover Kyle and Brooke back up and stand there for awhile to make sure they have gone back to bed. Needless to say, I have to walk back out there 2 more times. On my last trip out there, I swung open the door and announced, "someone is going to get their ass fanned!" Took that line from my father! Thank you very much Pop Pop! Of course, there was Brooke, back in Kyle's pack n play lying on top of him. Poor guy probably just wanted to get some sleep. At this point, I decide to sleep on the sofa. It took my til 5am to calm back down and go back to sleep. Oh the fun times of having toddlers! I think my sister said it best when she asked if it was child abuse to use duct tape at 4am.

Here are some pictures of us during our trip:
