"Seeing the world through your kid's eyes" + beautiful sunset = me getting all emotional.

[@rutheiermann3476]

So nice seeing your family enjoying time together

[@californiathroughmylens]

You are so kind, thanks for watching!

[@AshleyNewellDotMe]

Your videos don't normally make me cry but this sunset with the kids did! Bye, have a great day!

[@ursinidaho]

Awww! You made me get teary at the end Josh! You are so right! Seeing the world through Children's eyes is so special! Thanks for this! I grew up in Laguna Niguel, moved to Mammoth in 82-83. I was a Beach Lifeguard up at Aliso and West Street for 3 summers! I have sat in that spot where you were at San Clemente Pier Beach many times.. My Friend worked at Fishermans in High School. Brings back great memories.

[@katherinespencer2633]

What a lovely family outing! It’s nice to take a weekend vacation, beautiful!

[@RossCummins]

Seeing the world through your kids eyes! What a lovely family you have, peace joy and blessings to you all 👊👍☮️✌️

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thanks so much! Ya so cool to see them enjoy the sunset and beach!

[@reneejones7807]

Gotta say, those two kids get cuter every video. What an awesome trip!

[@tquist61]

Wonderful video which brought back a lot of great memories! I grew up in Mission Viejo in the late '60's & '70's. The trip to Laguna Beach was a lot closer to us, but my mom almost always took us to the Beach in San Clemente (State Beach at the end of Avenida Califia). We enjoyed the sand, the water and waves, and even the trains (mainly freight trains back then). We could walk down the beach and see Nixon's place up on the cliff. Years later, I asked my mom why she made the longer drive to San Clemente instead of Laguna Beach. Her answer was perfectly practical - it was easier to find a parking place there!

[@JohnProthero]

I grew up in San Clemente (SCHS class of '79) and watching this video was like a visit home. I'm glad your kids enjoyed the water. The beaches of San Clemente are hard to beat!

[@SharonNolfi]

Glad you're taking the time to enjoy your wonderful kids! It really is special time in their lives and yours.

[@melindacohea127]

Welcome to my backyard! As someone who has enjoyed seeing all of your videos, and watching your children grow, I look forward to more videos where you see the world through your children’s eyes!

[@californiathroughmylens]

So cool that you live there! I would love to live in that area. Thanks for watching!

[@kellyjohnson3617]

Thanks for sharing your in depth knowledge of San Clemente that I e only ever visited once. It’s so magical to share a place you love with people you love and to see it through their eyes. Especially through your children’s eyes. I’m so glad you and Amy got to experience this special place with Jack and sunny and made great memories with them they will cherish forever

[@suzettecalleja3122]

Your family is darling. Your kids are growing up; so tall. ❤. Always nice to watch your videos. I haven't been to this area of CA yet. Thanks!

[@AdventureswithDanTracie]

We'll have to add this to our itinerary the next time we visit California! We would love to hike that beach trail. It's great to have different sites along the trail. Excellent video, dude!

[@californiathroughmylens]

So many amazing things to do in CA, it’s hard to fit them all in

[@MayaMcGuckin-hs1rq]

I’m here rn and it is so pretty I used to live near it but we sadly moved away but I’m so happy I can go here:))

[@iguillo]

Josh thanks for sharing this. In addition to learning a little more about San Clemente, which I've only spent a little time in, I enjoyed seeing you and the family enjoying your time at the beach. I've been watching your channel since before you and Amy were together and now I feel like I'm watching your kids grow up. This was a beautiful family video / day and really made my Sunday morning! 😉

[@californiathroughmylens]

Wow so cool you have been watching for so long. Really appreciate the support!

[@iguillo]

@@californiathroughmylens No, thank you! Your videos have been extremely helpful for a number of trips with the outdoor group that I lead on Facebook. ;-)

[@JaniceStewart863]

So beautiful...every second of this video. Thanks for sharing your blessings with us.

[@OceanluvOC]

You’re in my neck of the woods! I live in the next city over in Dana Point. I love the area I live in ❤❤😊My kids are Gen Z but it seems like yesterday they were lil tots! So awesome that your kids noticed the sunset and the cold ocean water didn’t bother them 🥰

[@vickimcmillan3705]

Gorgeous .. you are a master storyteller 🙏🥰🌴

[@daviotkelly1267]

Ok I'm getting teary eyed🥲 awesome video

[@eloisbrett-kress4284]

Love seeing your family videos, how sweet that you shared your special day.

[@violetbf3773]

What a beautiful video. Seeing your kids so happy, enjoying the simple things in life was the best thing ever. When you said they were four, you made me feel old!! 😂 I can’t believe they’re four, I remembered when we were all worried about Amie because we hadn’t seen her on your videos. And it turned out she was just enjoying her pregnancy. 🙌🏽

[@scottscriticalmass]

Thanks for sharing what looked to be a perfect family day... 💛

[@NessasTravelDiaries]

Lovely! Adding this to my bucket list

[@mykirbs2002]

Great video! The kids are so big now 4 wow. I live in Lake Forest my friend and I spent many days there riding our bikes. So beautiful minus the smoke 😢

[@ygbgforever]

Love the vibe of your videos

[@DyanK614]

That sunset was unbelievable- I would have to agree with your kids. Enjoy every magical moment with them! Great vlog.

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thanks so much!! It’s one I will never forget for sure!

[@fettkane]

love the channel and your kids are getting so big, wonderful family, congrats :)

[@sueanna_banana]

The wildfire smoke in the distant east mountains were horrifying in this video. But you 4 had fun despite it!

[@michellekk3916]

Oh yeah!! I grew up surfing there as a teen! Love it! So glad you enjoyed it.

[@cs9134]

What a great lesson at the end of this special video. Thanks for the reminder.

[@evflomo56]

Great video. My sister and I grew up going to the beach in San Clemente every summer. We had a blast boogie boarding back then. As adults my sister and our friends rented a beach house every summer for several years. Always a fun time. And when I had kids we took them there quiet a bit. Always wanted to eat at that Fisherman's Restaurant but never got the chance. I really miss it there. Currently live in Vegas so haven't been there for a long time. Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience. Looks like you all had a great time.

[@thierrywaterlot2953]

What a lovely family !!!

[@rolfathan]

Thanks for the heads up on Pedro's! We have some locations in north san diego county that I didn't even know about. I'm going to try that trestles burrito.

[@lauraslanesvanlifetravels]

That pizza sounds and looked delicious! All my faves w/just a little spice! And awwww...it's cool to watch these 2 kids grow-up, they are BEYOND cutiepies! Love hearing how you feel being a father, we don't often hear that from anywhere...beautiful.

[@nozee77]

Ok, note taken, this is on my bucket list now. 😊 What a beautiful family you've got, your kiddos are bursting with joy for life, absolutely infectious! Thanks for that short holiday in sunny California. 🌴🌊🌞
