Oceanside 2014

We had a great time in Oceanside again this year.  We missed Trevor, Jake, Alyssa, and Courtney, especially when Chase would start running up and down the beach-- definitely could've used some more reinforcements :)   The week went by quickly, but it was so beautiful and relaxing.  We love to read with the waves in the background, and like I said, Chase loved everything about the beach.  Here are a bunch of pictures and video clips from the week.  Most are of Chase in the sand because that was what he wanted to do most often :)
