Oceanside

Chris's mom gets a condo on the beach in Oceanside every year, and she was nice enough to let us encroach on her for few days. We did a day at Disneyland and every other day at the beach. Molly was pretty crabby for a lot of the trip (we actually took her to urgent care because we thought she had Swimmers Ear - turned out nothing was wrong with her at all; she was just cranky) but we still had plenty of fun.

The Disneyland highlight for Molly was definitely the parade. She waved to everyone and everything that passed.




My nephew Danny couldn't get enough of Claire. He called her "Blaire-Bear" or "Baby Blaire" and it ended up sticking for her new nick-name.


I bought Molly a visor for the beach because I thought it would protect her face from the sun. Unfortunately she preferred to wear it gangsta style so not much sun protection there.


Molly took a nasty spill at the beach the first day we were there when a wave came up and took her back down with it. After that she wouldn't go near the water unless she was holding your hand, preferably both hands. But she still liked going down to the water; she called it "skating."






Sand crabs were always a highlight at the beach.


So was Molly's plumber butt.


Everything, including me, was so covered in sand all the time that Claire got a sample when she ate.


Not exactly a classic family picture but I love the girls' matching swimsuits!


The condos we stayed at have really spectacular grounds. They have a coi pond that Molly loved and it was so nice to be able to play outside in such beautiful weather.








The party didn't stop even on the drive home!
