Morro Bay Heaven

In the middle of August, we made our last big fling of summer, heading out to the coast at Morro Bay. This was one of Branden's favorite childhood vacation spots and now it is one of mine as well. So beautiful! We broke up the drive by stopping in a town called Paso Robles, where they happened to be having an Olive Festival. 
 The kids got to make some crafts,
 throw some bean bags, 

 and be an olive.
 Here's Nora getting her groove on while she watches the pacific islander dances.
 We even got a taste of OLIVE OIL ice cream... and it was GOOD!!! They sprinkled raspberry vinaigrette on top. Wow. Who knew?!
Then we headed over to the rocky beach area (can't remember what its actually called) and Nora and Branden braved the cold water to climb the cool rocks.


 Ike chasing after the birds. (He would do that all day if we let him!)
 Nora and her Daddy made it to the top.
 My turn.






No, she's not playing hide and go seek. She's praying to God that he will save her friends from destruction when the Second Coming comes. Don't ask me how her mind works! :) 
Then the sandy beach area...



It was the BEST day - happy kids, beautiful weather and scenery. Can't wait to go back!
