We had a great time at the beach when we took the kids on Tuesday and so we decided to go back again on Thursday. Madilyn's top priority was finding shells. She was so determined to find a whole sand dollar and on the last day, we found a whole one for her. She was thrilled!!
Ethan loved playing in the sand and having freedom to play around. He did a few face plants in the sand and he didn't even care.
Drew is our beach guy and fit right in with the beach scene. He loved the water and pushed Chris to go further and further. We were lucky to see dolphins out in the ocean jumping out of the water and having a good time. We were able to get out pretty far in the water because of a sand bar that had built up. Literally not more than 50 yards away, we watched dolphins surfing in the waves. I lived in Cali for 25 years and never had seen them that close before.
All you beach goers...what's the one thing you don't want to do? Feed the seagulls! Do not feed the seagulls! Ethan on the other hand thought it was fun to have the seagulls and pigeons around and fed them cookie the second day. The first day we were out in the water and a bird took off with some cookies and another took off with a diaper. Before you get too grossed out, it was a clean one. It was kinda gross to have so many dirty birds around but at the same time it was funny. Ethan enjoyed it.
We also went to Balboa pier and had lunch at Ruby's. As Madilyn puts it "some Mexican guy" caught a starfish while we were watching from inside. It was the biggest starfish I've ever seen, not that I've seen many. Just another fun beach experience.

finding sand dollars and seeing dolphins...two of the great joys of the beach but I have to say, i haven't seen a starfish since i was a little girl living in San Diego. Love the pictures and loved having you guys here
Looks like you guys had such a good time on your trip!
Im glad you guys had lots of fun. It was good to visit with you. Lizzie and Trevor were very sad when they went to Grammes and you all weren't there. Im so glad that everything went well at the wedding. We had lots of fun with Ethan.
By the way Todd did the "bike to the beach" the day you guys left for Utah, and I met him down there. Well it was cloudy and cold. Looks like you guys had some perfect timing.
