Back From the Beach

We just got back on Saturday from a family vacation in California. It's a family tradition that we have with the Singleton's to go to Oceanside, California. We spend just about every day out on the beach. The kids get better and better at the boogie boards. This year was the best ever for waves and water. The ocean wasn't freezing like it usually is. One day we took the kids to Sea World with their cousins. They had a great time. Zane liked the sharks and Shamu. Quinnelly liked the Dolphins and the shows. We all liked sitting in the splash zones and getting drenched by fishy poo water. The week ended with a new tradition that started two years ago by Jeff's mom. The Amazing Singleton Race Part 2. Jeff and I and the kids won it two years ago(ya Spencer and Jenny we did) so we planned it this year. Friday we packed up the condos and everyone started out the race at our favorite Danish Bakery, at least we thought it was every one's favorite bakery. Lisa, Jeff's older sister, felt jipped because we didn't give her directions. Sorry Lisa, you get to go every, morning next summer to the bakery and pick up the cinnamon crispa's. We took them on a wild goose chase around San Diego. They went everywhere from La Jolla Cove, to Point Loma, to a Japanese Friendship Bell. It was a blast. The winners ended up being Spencer, Jenny and Annelise. But Nancy gets the effort prize for taking her five kids without any husband! We ate dinner that night at the Hard Rock in La Jolla gave some silly prizes. We love our family vacations. We really missed not having Rob, Amy, Court, Tate and Danica there. Hopefully they will be able to come next year. Thanks for the memories guys. We had the best time and we think we have the best family around!
