Before our camping trip we went to Bolsa Chica State Beach for a good old fashioned weenie roast.  Yaya, Papa, great-grandmas, Esther and Dorothy joined us as well.  Cara and Shane also came over from Playa del Rey for a day full of dogs and s’mores.  It was a beautiful day.  Not too hot, not too windy either.    It took us some time to find a free fire ring but we finally found one and quickly set up camp.

Because we set up near a fire ring, that meant soot, soot and more soot.  Kids seem to attract soot where ever they go.  Cole is enjoying one of the many treasures the beach has to offer.  Unfortunately, it wasn’t a seashell.  It was trash.

Grace had a great time playing smashball with Aunt Cara.

After smashball, Grace and Cole couldn’t wait to put on their swimsuits to dip their feet into the water.  Cara and Papa volunteered to take Grace while I took Cole.  Sadly, Grace is in a weird phase where she is afraid of the beach and doesn’t like to go in anymore.  She didn’t actually make it into the water this time.

Cole really isn’t interested in going into the water either.  He just loves digging in the sand near the water.

Finally, it was weenie roasting time.  Daddy did a great job making sure every hot dog was roasted to perfection.

Cole wanted to play smashball too.  But we were all too busy eating our hotdogs.  Sorry buddy.

After hotdogs, you have to make s’mores of course.  Here is Papa keeping a watchful eye out for those melting marshmellows.

Do you think Grace liked her s’more?  I think so.

Yaya graciously shared her s’more with Cole.

Weiners and s’mores.  Life is not only good, it’s great.
