Fun in the Sun~ Beach Edition

We finally made it to the beach on a sunny day! At around 4 in the afternoon we packed our towels and blankets and drove half an hour to the nearby beach of Refugio (the locals call it re-foo-fee-oh). Just another one of those strange spanish pronunciations, we thought..but no, the mexicans don't know why it's called that either. Anyway, if you want to be cool with the locals you pronounce the G as an F sound. The beach was beautiful. The sun was warm but not enough to burn us, so some of us lay out on the blanket while others let themselves played in the waves. Later on we saw seals jumping a little ways out. I'm reading 'The Great Gatsby', so I mostly stayed on the blanket, but the whole evening was very peaceful and enjoyable. :)

Here is just a little bit of the fun we had:

yes, she is the only one who accomplishes anything on vacation :)
cousins and bffs

Not quite Hawaii..

Kylie: the only one brave enough to be fully buried alive

food always tastes better at the beach

It got a little intense when Charlie saw that the seals were coming closer ;)
