Thanks MacKays for moving back to SoCal!!

Surprise!  The MacKays moved back to California in September!! So of course I begged them to let us come for Thanksgiving, since we hadn't been to the beach that year at all...oh wait haha. I guess we just needed to go again. 

It wasn't super warm, but honestly it was probably just as warm as it was in Oceano last July!! 

So Maris went all the way in :)

Katelyn and Whitney enjoying the California sunshine....and Cute Scofield becoming friends with me haha!

This was the first night when we arrived- after a house tour, we went straight to dinner and the beach for sunset! Whitney's best life.

love it!

We also got to fulfill Whitney's dream of eating ice cream on the pier. She has a lot of dreams haha. But it's fun that we get to benefit from them!

This was the day after Thanksgiving, we had a great afternoon at the beach. Here's Grandpa Jamie getting in with the kids, and then really going for it and body surfing!!

Whitney wanted her own photo shoot in her cute fit.

Eric and a bunch of the kids sinking into the sand.

Everyone on the pier at night, it was pretty magical!

Derek brought spike ball and it was a hit! Eric, Kent, Derek and Dad played... and then I was convinced to try it!  Derek, me, Kent and Caleb played, it was really fun!!  

Whit and Emma, Kate and Whit

More sunset, and cute Jenna, Seth and Maris.

More pier pics

When Eric sunk his feet in the sand he was shorter than me lol! It was super weird!! And more of Whitney's photo shoot.

The start and final product of Owen and Seth's Sand Fort!

Emma and Jenna running off to the water, and Katelyn with a whole village she made out of tiny sticks and shells!  A whole society really!

Ahh the beach, so nice!
