Our work schedule the past couple years has been pretty hectic and leaves no chance of actually planning a vacation ahead of time so as a family we do as many last minute trip as possible. I randomly called Refugio State Beach to see if there were any cancellations for the weekend and timed it perfectly as a church group had to cancel last minute on a 30 person campsite. We didn’t really need a site that big for the 3 of us but we took it and instantly texted everyone we knew to see if they were down for a last minute beach side camping adventure and of course a whole lot of people were. Here’s a bunch of random photos from the weekend.

Slabco on Claire mobile.

The kid got a harness and got a new obsession.


The ranger said “I really want to find a reason why I should allow you to do this” and Eli gave him a demo with us of course not having him go as high as he really was and the kid instantly said “come on! I was twice as high last time!!” And we got busted, in the nicest way possible.

It won’t be the last time.

But he still hung out in the trees 90% of our time there.



Thanks friends (and California) for a great weekend.
