MORE PICTURES THAN YOU BARGAINED FOR...or David just uploaded a summer's worth of fotos from his phone.

So today, we headed out to the Malibu and discovered a new beach (new to us that is.) David did this to the kids.


Man, if I lived on the beach, Time Outs would take on a whole different world...

Yeva Series One.
Cute as can be, enjoying the sand and occasional waves washing over her legs.

Oh but she's a curious one.

and that sand was so squishy

and she really couldn't resist because what if it tasted as good as cheerios?

So we figure, why not? It's not like she'll keep eating it right? Oh, but she did.

"Hey guys, when I'm big, can I go surfing with Jeff?" (As in Jeff Westra) Ale asks today as we get out of the car. Here he is, maiden voyage with a new boogie board. The board stayed nice and safe on the sand today. We have some time before we need to be buying surf boards I suppose.

Los Angeles forest 3 weeks before torching.We wake up thinking we will do a nine mile hike from Switzer picnic area back to our house. We soon get our sanity back and decide we shouldn't attempt such a long rigorous hike with kids who are not accustomed to it (Nor are our backs). We make it 4 miles and go to El Pollo Loco instead.

Ale rides the Walling Deer in Fresno.

Two Brothers, some bagels and an early July morning Santa Monica Beach.

The Latin Lover in newly shorn glory.

Have I ever mentioned how serious this kid is about his food?
