Carlsbad Day 1
Our place of living for the next 3 days!!
I found an internet connection off the balcony of our condo!! Hurray! I can now post listening to the waves of the ocean. It doesn't get more heavenly than that! Doug is loving that he can sit up here with me reading his book. (I really should be doing this too) But I guess I am a little addicted to modern technology. Why not if I have the hookup.
The boys had so much fun digging in the sand.
Taylor and mom
The kids woke up so eager to go down to the beach. So after Doug & I did our morning exercise we packed up and headed down the stairs to the beach. Taylor and Jared had a blast just riding the waves. We checked out a boogie board and they also had a lot of fun with that. The little boys got tired around noon so we headed back to the condo for some rest time. The older kids stayed with Dean & Kathy.
Claim Jumpers party of 12! The funny thing is Kathy went in to reserve us a seat for our hugomongo family and instead of saying just a minute. The girl said, oh your party is so big my manager has to seat you. The funniest part is it was only about 3:30pm and the restuarant was nearly empty. The food was so yummy and of course the portions are literally for 3 people. Jared's "kid" plate came with two pieces of grilled chicken. What kid is going to eat that much. It was like an adult sized meal. Their muffins were the best part. I couldn't resist and had to get some for breakfast. I just love corn bread!!
The double Clouse clan= 12 kiddos

We came out with a bunch of stuff. I am so glad we finally found Doug a watch! We have been looking for two months and he couldn't find one. I am also happy to say that he got a couple of pair of shoes and now can throw his old nasty ones away. We finished up the night with a slurpee trip to 7-11. Now we are about to watch a movie. Until tomorrow!!
