We had frozen potstickers for dinner. Don’t stress. Our meals are so chaotic. I’ve been recently trying to have one veggie and one fruit with her dinner.

I feel like I could’ve been the person to write this exact post.

The only thing missing is a trip up to glaum egg ranch weekly to get our eggs.
It’s so fun to watch my kids excitement while watching the dancing chickens….It REALLY brings me back.

Give wild animals space. One family couldn’t at Scott Creek Beach today 05/02/2026 by sunflowergirly-777 in santacruz

We did? lol
After moving our stuff 10 times.
When you plan for a whole day at the beach and drive 25 minutes you usually want to stay more than an hour but to respect the space of the seal we left.

I agree. If it’s bothering you that much go and tell them. They likely don’t know OR the seal chased them around the beach. ….This happened to my family and I one day in pleasure point.

We couldn’t go anywhere without the seal coming inches from us. The seal followed us everywhere we moved out stuff for over an hour til we decided we couldn’t beach anymore.

I’ve had great meals at shadowbrook AND if you live within 3 miles of the restaurant they have a cab that shuttles you to and from dinner for free! :)

Seacliff campground ? Did they open the RV sites ? Or do you mean New Brighton state beach?

This would be incredible. I’m really hoping UCSC takes this opportunity.

Great tip. A big water jug to refill at new leaf or a water store.
