Tutorial Monday and Stuff

So we decided to escape the heat and camp at the beach…..with the whole family!!  My girl and her guy for a short bit, but at least we were all there together for a bit.  So fun……..045 here’s The Dots having breakfast and no doubt discussing what’s ahead for the day!  We took a day and went to the San Diego Zoo.  My sister in law, niece, nephew and their boyfriend/girlfriend also joined us.   523345_861681306949_1512138719_n
