This year marked the 30th anniversary of Carpinteria for my (Dave's) family. Some of my earliest memories stem from my first year at Carpinteria, such as learning to ride a bike, Boogie Board and smash pennies on the train tracks.

And this is a pic of the kiddies livin' it up in 2011
We had a good crew of kids -- many of my cousin's kids (Krissy's, Josh's, Jenny's, Parker's) were able to join the fun this year. It was fun to see the "Second Generation of Carpinteria kids" learning and loving our traditions growing up.
Traditions such as camping out in a tent (Ellie & Aubrie's first experience that they remember).
Going on bike rides along the coast.
Getting dirty around the campground. At one point, we caught Kyler doing face-down "snow angels" in the campground dirt.
Getting lots of candy at Robitaille's. Teyah couldn't resist giving Krew (Parker's little boy) a smooch on the cheek.
Digging lots of sand castles.
And Boogie Boarding all day long.
Even Ellie and Teyah were brave and joined the Boogie Boarding fun!
I love this Pic of Ellie and her Daddy alongside Livee and her Daddy (Parker)
I couldn't help myself from joining in on the action.
Carpinteria has always been a magical place for me which brings back a flood of good memories every time we go there. I think it is catching on with my kids as well as they often ask when we are going back.
