Lovin the Beach!!

We just got back from a great trip to Carlsbad California! My Parents and Chaise met us there and we had lots of fun hanging out and relaxing. Of course it would not be a Kinne Family vacation without a accident to report!! This is becoming quite a trend one that I would like to see come to an end now!! We spent most of our days playing at the beach then headed up to the pool to swim and to get all the sand out of every nook and cranny!! Went to In and Out burger a couple of times Yummy. The kids were able to see lots of fun animals in the tide pools! Which unknown to us you were not supposed to touch or pick them up OOOPs. The tide pool education girl came to teach the kids about the animals as Porter has a snail and 2 clams in his hands. When she told him "lets go put those back where you found them" he said "no I want to keep them" and he was serious he was mad he had to put them back.



We went to take some family pictures in Laguna at a Alysso creek, it is really pretty there and has lots of big rocks that jet out into the water. It was kind of chilly so the kids were not too happy to be taking pictures. We got a few, my Dad was nice enough to take some for us and we went to see where else we could go. There was a photographer there so I told Brian to go see where they were taking pics. Next thing I know I see Brian and Porter out here.....


and yell "no, no, no not a good idea" as any one seeing this would obviously see why!! Brian yelled back at me oh take a picture it is a good spot! Which I quickly did and told him to go back but not before seeing this.......


I know it looks as though Brian is saying " look a humongous wave coming straight for us isnt that nice" but instead he is telling Porter to look out in the water so I can take a picture!! Oh my, has my son and husband just been swept off into the ocean?!! I could not see anything after the huge wave landed on top of them there was a big rock in the way. Luckily here they come around the corner soaked to the bone!! If I were not sooooo furious I would of taken pictures!!! Brian's left arm was covered in blood which looked lovely on his white shirt. I wish I would have taken a picture of Brian's elbow it was nasty!! He landed on a rock because is was trying not to let go of Porter. The wave was so strong that it knocked him off of his feet and pulled Porter's shorts down. Thankfully Brian held on tight to Porter I could just imagine him being swept by the current back into the ocean. So after 2 hours in the ER that was conviently down the street Brian got glued back together and on our way. Boy we are never going to forget our vacations!!
Amazingly the blood came out of Brian's shirt!!

We had lots of fun!! It was fun to see Papa and Jo thanks for hanging out with us!!
