Santa Cruz Recap

Spent an awesome weekend camping in Santa Cruz. If you are not our family, this post may bore you to death. Here are way too many pictures...

Max and Ella take over the RV~

 
Around camp~


When we found our camp site, I told Maxwell and Ella that these stumps were their 'special chairs.'

Little Meg and her boyfriend Zack came too. Isn't her hair cute dark?


Helping Dad set up a tent to play in~


Love this face.

Around the camp fire~

 


Everyone wants to wear Dad's hat~

 
We took a steam train to the boardwalk~

When we got there, Maxwell ruled at race car driving and Ella made Mama proud with her fancy footwork on Dance Dance Revolution~

Everyone was sleepy on the ride home~




Not pictured: Mike, Meg and Zack zip lining. A few baby meltdowns. Yummy BBQ dinners with friends. Me wanting to cry when, at 9:30, Maxwell and Ella were still awake, and wouldn't fall asleep unless we laid down with them (which made me so thankful of the easy bedtime routine at home- which entails putting them in their beds, walking away, and enjoying a few hours of quiet time before the next day).
