Oxnard - August 2003

We spent a week at a rented beach house in Oxnard (south of Santa Barbara). We went with two other families - the Spahns and the Sages. We had a fantastic time with perfect weather all the time.


Sometimes the castle building got pretty involved.

The Spahn boys loved going in the water with their clothes on. Julie had to wash all their clothes every day. :)

Kelly finally coaxed Kate out into the water. I'm not sure which one is going to hold the other up when a wave hits.

Kelly led the construction of a multi-layered set of moats and walls to protect her little sand hill in the middle there.

Here they get one of their first tests. They seem to work.
