Weekending | San Clemente Style | Handplane Hoedown

We drove to San Clemente {again} for a long weekend.

Spent some time with Jessica {allora handmade} and her family at the beach.

Loved the girlfriend time. Her boys are adorable.

And her husband picked up hand planing like nobody's business!

Beach house overrun with surfboards and hand planes for body surfing.

We find the best beach houses on VRBO.com.

While this one wasn't necessarily our most favorite

 it worked for the weekend.

Little Mister still smiling with sand in his ears, mouth, diaper....EVERYWHERE!

 He would fold himself flat to reach sand to bring it in to his tent.

And why we were there AGAIN so soon....The HandPlane HoeDown.

A way to bodysurf using a hand plane.

The boys ran to Walmart late Friday night.

Picked up t-shirts, spray paint, card stock and an exacto knife

and went to town making handmade t-shirts for the next morning!

Get it... hand | plane | hoe | down

Next event they are going with official t-shirts....screenprinted!

The boys have been crafting their own hand planes for a few months now

getting ready for this event that was held this past weekend

at San Clemente State Beach!

The waves were epic. The handmade hand planes everywhere.

And the weather HOT.

It was a boys' weekend that I crashed.

{Little Mister needed attending to while on the beach...duh.}

My mom and dad stayed at our house tending to Kaia and Little Miss

and had a wonderful weekend. My mom even cleaned out my fridge.

Lucky me!! Thank you Mom.

{And rumor has it my dad played with Little Miss and it was so cute.}
