San Clemente Ocean Festival

2 years ago we were camping at the beach in San Clemente during the city's ocean festival. Dustin and Kris ran the 5K, we walked from our campsite down towards the pier for all the fun, the kids got their faces painted. It was good times.
We tried to make it back last year and couldn't make it work.
This year we did it!
The gang posing with King Neptune.
The mermaid parade.
The mermaids posing with King Neptune. Anyone who wants to can dress up in their finest mermaid gear and parade down the pier. This year Dustin's cousin led the mermaids around.

Dustin and Mad played a little smash ball before the races.
Grandma running her 5K.
What's a trip to the beach without a couple splashes in the waves?!
The girls look on as Dustin finishes his 5K.
Scott munches on something delicious.
Cotton candy for all.
Paige shows off her beautiful 3D butterfly.
Karley and Scott both got tatted up.


We listened to a cute TWEEN girl band. Scott loved it!
Karley and Madison showing off their medals. All three girls ran in the 1st annual Dolphin Dash.

Paige's 1st run ever. We were a little worried but the girl can definitely hang.

She got a medal to prove it!

Cotton Candy! I missed cotton candy. Dang! Looks like a good time and I wish I had been there to see the Dashing Dolphins, especially.
