Beach Day
This morning we decided to head to Laguna Beach. We parked where we had to take a trolley/shuttle. The kiddos played in the rocks in the parking lot and were so excited to take the shuttle. We went to Main Beach. The kids had a great time. Justin wanted to go to the water right away. Nicole wanted to play in the dry sand. Justin had a big smile on his face every time he got wet. Nicole kept falling down in the dry sand purposely, silly girl. Nicole and I played in the sand for a while and Justin and daddy were in the cold ocean. I dug a hole and Nicole wanted to stand in it. We built sand castles. Grandma/pa met us at the beach. Nicole then decided to go in the water. She would run in and run out when the wave came, screaming all the way out. We had a picnic lunch from BJ’s on the beach which was nice. Then we took the kiddos over to the play area. On our way over though they had to jump into the sand again and again. We finally made it over to the play area and the kiddos were having a blast. But then I needed to change Justin’s diaper so we had to go back. By then though it was time to pack up and find the shuttle. On the way home Justin was asleep pretty quickly but he was so funny hanging onto his water cup. He drinks in his sleep! The kiddos slept in the car for a short while then they came in and watched Barney. Daddy needed a nap too. We went and gave the kiddos a bath, so we didn’t have to worry about it tonight. I also wanted to make sure there was no more sand and take off the layer of sun screen. After bath we ran to Great Indoors to look at a light. The kids had fun playing in the store, looking and touching everything. Then we went and met grandma/pa for a Chinese dinner. The kids did great at the restaurant. They ate well and sat the entire time. After dinner we had family fun time outside in the grassy area by the restaurant. It was great. The kids had a blast running around, chasing us, playing peek a boo, going on our shoulders, being swung, playing ring around the rosie. Just good old fashioned fun with no toys. We were all smiling watching the kiddos. We came home and the kiddos were still a little hyper. It is almost 9:30 and they are still talking away in their cribs. I am going to get ready for bed, I was up early this morning and the beach made me tired.
