Our last vacation of the “summer” (meaning before we had to be home for Zoe’s school) was to Newport Beach.  We decided to camp on the beach for the first time at Newport Dunes.  It was an experience and we are always learning!  The beach was great for the kids.  We tried to run into the Chamberlin’s but there was NO parking for miles along Newport Beach.  We popped in for a quick hello since Zane is in love with Courtney and we saw the most amazing waves EVER.  We used our Disney passes and went there for 2 of the evenings and enjoyed some rides.  Night lines are so much shorter.  We didn’t want to deal with the crowds or the heat so we headed out there both nights at about 8pm.

The kids loved the beach and the pool.  Zane was kind of intrigued by sand on his hands.

And this is clear verification that Zoe loves to BUG her brother!…

Does somebody who loves photography ever go to the beach without a camera?  We went to the beach a few times and I NEEDED my camera.  I suppose the pictures above tells the reason why!  You never know what you can capture and what story you can tell…
