Pajaro!

Pajaro is always a great time... but when you have friends with you, it's even that much better!  We've told friends about Pajaro over the years and this was the first time another family was able to join us at the beach. 

Kara LOVED having her best friend, Kiara, with her...

For selfies...

For boogey boarding...

For hanging on the beach...

For keeping warm...

And just having fun!

The boys found a pit and decided that wrestling would be a fun thing to do.  I expected there might be some tears, but they were able to keep it friendly.

The reason we planned this trip months ago was for the kids to take a Lego STEM class in Monterey.  They had fun building and learning new techniques.

Kara liked the castle she built...

Jason liked the catapult...

And Ben's favorite was the battery powered inchworm that moved across the floor.

We got a chance to see Uncle Gregg and Uncle Bill, which is always a treat.

And though it was quick, we visited the aquarium and had sandwiches from Ike's, which has become one of our favorites.

It was a great time at Pajaro... it's the kind of place that you want your kids to remember... just running through the waves and playing in the sand and enjoying being together.  For us, Pajaro is perfection.
