Day at the Beach

On our last day in San Diego, the sun was shining again. If we would have had sun everyday, these kids would have played at the beach every one of them. Cooper tolerated the sun and sand for a day, but it certainly wasn’t his favorite way to spend the day. He was a good boy and took about a two hour nap in my arms.

A hot tub for 2.

Morgan gets her worrying gene from me. Grandpa is trying to help her get used to the waves…I remember him having to drag me into the water on one of our vacations as well. I loved it after I decided to get brave, but this water was a little colder and had a bit of kelp swirling around in it. In some places it was ALOT of kelp. It is hard to make yourself remember kelp is a plant and not some strange sea creature.

Carson tried a little boogie boarding. He loved it! Actually, all the kids had a great time boogie boarding..until the tide went out and the waves weren’t so good anymore.

We will miss that sun, and sand, and the sound of the waves. It just isn’t that same in the backyard sandbox. After our day at the beach, it was sadly time to pack up and start our trek home.
