Cali-style Christmas Break

Bocce ball at the park?  Hike in the redwoods?  Sunburn from playing tennis?  Day at the beach?  Forget gathering receipts and taking down Christmas trees.  These are my kind of post-Christmas, year-end activities.



Henry Cowell Redwood State Park, a short drive from our casa.
(Why don't we come here more often?)

The boys, Kymber, and I scampered on the big rocks and collected some small ones.

 



Millie swinging it up while the adults played bocce.

 



Rainbow cupcake, anyone?

 



Watching the surfers at Capitola Beach.

 



Joseph and his boy.  This was the twins' first time in the sand.  R loved it.  G hated it.

 



Mille and R in the sand pit.

 



 


Oops!  A little out of order here.
