Saweet October Break!

.
We feel very spoiled and lucky to have been able to go to CA for October break with the Goodman's! We aren't even in school...but we'll take a break any day! We missed out on the Disneyland adventure the first half of the week but were so excited to meet up with them
to our CA stompin' grounds, Oceanside!
.
We stayed in the coolest Wyndham time shares right on the beach. It was such a nice, relaxing place to spend some quality time with Casey's family! I love how big Casey's family is with lot's of cousins for Lane to play with. They truly are an amazing family with everyone so willing to help each other out, take care of other peoples kids, or just sit and to visit with.

.
Case got a little tired on the drive up:)


First things first, on the way into San Diego we had to get our Phil's fix!


Sharing a 4 bedroom condo meant lot's of wrestling matches every morning!



We had perfect beach weather...





let's go fly a kite




We had to take a walk down the pier since our condos were pretty much right in front of it.


gotta love having your hair dresser in the family!


the best part of Oceanside is the amazing food all within walking distance




How many people can you fit in an elevator? 12 adults+ 10 kids+ a double stroller= the whole Goodman fam! (minus Bre, Martin and Bryant. We missed you!)


Poor Steph, her room got dubbed the t.v. room for the kids

We were too lazy to haul all our stuff to the beach the second day so we swam in the pool instead. I guess Casey volunteered himself as the lifeguard:)



Celebrating October birthdays. Happy Birthday Val and Rando!


Playing an intense game of Werewolf on our last night all together. It's a lot like Mafia and is really fun.



Saturday before we hit the road home we went to Sea World! Melinda and her soon to be hubby Stephen came with us. We are so excited for them to get married in January!




It was a great trip! Thanks to everyone for making it memorable and so much FUN. We love all of you!

So fun!!! October is a great time to go. I bet the kids had a blast all together. You have traveled tons this year. Which is good since you will home with a new bebe in a few months =) California never gets old, I could go every month.

Hey hot stuff! Are you really 8 months pregnant???!! You look really good. I am jealous. Why did you take a picture next to scary pink lady at Sea World? Lane didn't look to sure of the whole situation! K, I want you to email me how you play werewolf! Seriously!! We are always looking for fun group games out here and we've exhausted "psychiatrist" as of late. I can't wait to play!

You have to be the tiniest pregnant woman ever. In 90% of these pictures I can't even see your belly. Lucky! I'm only 7 weeks and I already have a gut. Yikes! Thanks for the tip! I love Hobby Lobby and go there all the time but I've never seen chandeliers there. I guess I need to check out the WHOLE store rather than just the same aisles I go down almost every week.

Looks like so much fun. I love Cali. I would love for you to copy my banner thing. It was so much fun to make, I made 3 more after the first one. I'll be doing some for thanksgiving and other holidays. I just think you are the cutest pregnant girl ever BTW.

Please stop being so cute. Just get fat like the rest of us when we are prego. Oh, and don't wear makeup. And grow facial hair. That would be better.
I need a beach trip. Wasn't the beach freezing? Was that really an 8 month prego lady catching air playing frisbee?
I want to make Alyssa's banner too.
Come over and we will try to craft it together. Call me.

So, you're not supposed to make us all look so bad at eight months. The side shot of you at the table is the first time you look like you've got a belly poking out. You guys are probably just going to move to CA some day huh? You get to visit there so often. So how do you play werewolf?
