The combination of perfect weather, wonderful family, and good friends made for the ideal excuse to spend a few days camping at the beach in San Diego to celebrate the 4th of July.
This little beach boy caught a few rays while getting really sandy.
Braden kicked off the weekend by participating in the campground's bike parade.
Gramma and Papa put the Martha Stewart touch on Braden's bike to make sure he really displayed his patriotism.
Showing off his red, white, & blue from all angles!
No time for bathroom breaks. Braden misinterpreted, "Go pee in the ocean." Benefit of being a boy...no need to be discreet.
Double the fun! 
If you're old enough to own a boogie board, you're old enough to carry it yourself to the beach.
Addison chose to ignore Braden's breakdancing on the beach. Hey, he couldn't stop himself once he heard a good beat!
Just hanging out in the jacuzzi.
Addison and Braden were obsessed with the sand crabs. They gave some to Papa to eat and got quite a kick out of it when he "swallowed" a few.
Well, if Papa likes them, maybe I will too...
A little slimy and a bit crunchy... 
Too salty...I'm going to stick to just digging them up instead.
Braden had a bit of fun messing around on his boogie board, but preferred playing in the sand more.
The adults had a blast surfing and boogie boarding. We took a break and noticed a pod of five dolphins close to shore.
Hanging out with Gramma while sporting a chocolate pudding mustache coated in sand.
These kids just love each other! 
No nap and lots of sand & water created eyes as red as Braden's shirt. The tiredness didn't stop him for long though!
Glow sticks are quite possibly one of the best inventions. The kids played hide & seek with them, created a jump rope out of them, and waved them around like swords. Happy 4th of July!
