JALAMA (6 YEARS BLOGGING!)

11th year camping at Jalama in November and my blog's 6th year anniversary!
 I say it every year but Jalama is truly heaven on earth.  I love this tradition, this vacation, this break from the fast pace world and schedules.  This trip and because it is over Thanksgiving time really makes me so grateful for all that I have.  Not just materialistic stuff but for my family, my friends, the earth and all its beauty and for my Savior.
(My family and yes it was our Christmas card!)
 Sunsets there are incredible! No filter!
 This view never gets old!

 Shelby doing awesome on her new board.
This is her 3rd year camping with us, think it's her tradition now too!
 Evan, Christian, Mike, Brett playing some horse shoes.
Friends from Santa Barbara that we met camping back in 2008, now it's tradition that we go every year together.
 Love my hubby!
 Brother and Sister love!
 Cousin love!
 The Pearl family is from La Jolla we see them every year too at Jalama.  It happened to be Hanukkah during Thanksgiving week so we celebrated with them lighting the menorah and playing some dreidel. 
 Christian getting some fun surf!
 Kids always having fun.

Surf seems to get big while we are there.  One day probably 15-18 foot faces.  Christian surfed Tarantulas one day about 12-15 feet, I was a nervous mama.  Luckily there were some smaller calmer days so the kids could have fun too!
See ya next year Jalama!
