Oceanside -- Relaxing and Joe's

We woke up on our second day in Oceanside and it was freezing outside.  We spent the morning relaxing around in our Pj's and decided to walk down to the beach after lunch.

Owen had been begging to check out the playground and swing for a bit, so Kam and I went for a walk.  The sun decided to peek out of the cloudy sky and for a moment, it was warm.

Kam was a little extra moody and tired today so we decided to save the beach til tomorrow.  We had to pack up and move out of the penthouse with Gma and Gpa and move into our own room.  I did a couple loads of laundry and we got ready to meet everyone at Joe's for dinner.

Kam, Ry and Tate are growing up so fast!  Pretty soon we are going to have a bunch of teenagers around.  Yikes.

Here's the gang walking to the harbor for dinner.  Carson was trying to ruin my picture by being a goofball... you will notice a pattern. 

It's a tradition of ours to eat at Joe's Crab Shack at the harbor each time we are in Oceanside.  My kids can pound down seafood, and I love the crab pots they have.  Everyone had crab, with the exception of Tate, but she did eat squid when Carson promised her a dollar!

Here's another photo of Daddy being silly...

And another...

Here's Gpa Todd and Gma Monica.. thank you guys for letting us crash your time share.  We had a fantastic time!

Ry was celebrating her birthday, so she got to wear the chicken hat and hula hoop!! 

Gma Monica told the waiter that Owen just had surgery so he brought Owen out a crab hat, sunglasses and a sword.  Owen may, or may not, have swiped the sword out of the restaurant under his stroller. 

Owen was "really full" after just a few bites of crab and corn.  That was until he saw Tate's desert of ice cream sandwiches, with sides of chocolate sauce, sprinkles and m&ms.  Of course he wanted his own and was "really hungry" again. 

By the time we left it was dark.  We were stuffed full of crab and sundaes and ready for bed.  Our first day in Oceanside was relaxing and well spent. 

It was a chilly walk back to the hotel.  The big kids got their jammies on and had a sleepover with Gma and Gpa in their room.  Daddy crashed early, while Owen and I stayed up late watching Spiderman.
