Oceanside 2013

We had a great week at the beach this summer, and sadly it went by faster than any other week this year.  Marcus definitely enjoyed taking pictures with my mom's camera, so it was difficult picking a handful or two (or three) for this blog post.  We had basically the same routine as every year-- which is exactly how I'd want it!-- so I'll just narrate through some pictures.

I'm sure Marcus would be happy to specify what it was actually doing if you're interested :)
