The Really Big Birthday Boy!

We celebrated at our favorite beach, San Onofre (known to surfers as Old Man's). This beach is where we typically do our campfires in the evening. For this occasion we went early in the morning and then made brunch: pancakes, eggs, sausage & bacon (perfect for the birthday boy).


While dad was surfing, Sam found some new friends to play with. Sam is always looking for the kids.

That evening we went over to our friends place which is conveniently located right on the beach. In Sam's eyes a birthday party wouldn't be complete without cake and candles.

Sam rallied into the evening and took only a short nap in the car. You think he would've crashed that night....if we were only so lucky!?

Spinning!

If you have forgotten Sam's contagious laugh, this will help you remember.

happy Birthday to Joe! Looks like your beach life is awesome. Sam looks so much older! Can hardly wait to come and see all of you and where you live. I will be working on booking a flight soon for Grandma June. I loved his giggling! Didn't he get really dizzy? Thanks for keeping us updated with your blog. Love you all so very much!
