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.

Noah found a mussel that he was very proud of. We bbq'd it that night. 2003:08:19 17:29:30 70 mm 1/351 f7.1 |

Almost always as someone headed in from the beach, someone else headed out... 2003:08:19 17:35:32 210 mm 1/500 f5.6 |

Jessica can never get enough watermelon. 2003:08:19 19:07:32 70 mm 1/751 f0 |

Kate having too much fun pouring sand. 2003:08:19 19:08:20 70 mm 1/320 f5 |

Another Sage evening jaunt. 2003:08:19 19:17:40 105 mm 1/500 f5 |

Noah and the beachball. 2003:08:19 19:18:02 0 mm 1/400 f5 |

We were constantly amazed by how few people were enjoying the beautiful beach. 2003:08:19 19:18:24 95 mm 1/400 f5 |

Kelly seems to be giving us a glimpse of what she might look like in a few years. 2003:08:19 19:19:43 165 mm 1/400 f5 |
