The Beach

What is a trip to California without a trip to the beach? We went to the very same beach we lived on in Leucadia. It was late in the day but we wanted to go watch these guys...

do this...
But of course, the kids dug right in and were soaked and sandy in a matter of seconds. I don't know why I didn't put them in suits except that it was pretty cool. That was a mistake as I forgot that children do not understand the concept of freezing cold water-they could care less!
So, rather than going for a minute to watch some attempts at surfing, we had a great time doing lots of this...

and that...


The next beach trip was to our favorite beach, Moonlight, and was much warmer. The kids loved playing in the sand and waves and did not want to leave...
Roman and Eli sat and played in the sand forever. I don't know what it was all about, but they were definitely working on something:Jon and Capri in the wet sand:
Mom and Richard soaking it all up:Jesse and Kaleb building some fabulous castles:They were pushing the sand back up onto the beach so there was quite a mound forming. Jon thought it would be a good idea to jump...it was:Then Roman had to give it a go with his Daddy:Such a great feeling to be on the beach, breeze blowing, kids fully entertained, waves crashing, Karoline sleeping...I want to go back!
