On the Beach in Cali!!

We took the kids on a trip during UEA with Marsha and Russ and Bridger. We stayed at the Hilton on Huntington Beach. It was Beautiful. We just sat on our balcony at night and would watch and listen to the waves. The view was amazing. It was so nice to walk out and go to the beach.



We went and had lunch on the beach. It was so nice to sit and relax, and just watch the kids play. Brielle did a good job of keeping the birds away for us while we ate our lunch.

Our kids had never really played in the ocean before, We had always just got out to look for a bit, but that was it. So they were having the time of their life playing in the waves! The water was a little cold but it didn't even phase them, they were just right on in their. We didn't even put them in their swimming suits cause we thought it would be to cold. They didn't care though!

At first it was hard for them to judge the waves and how big they were going to be. I think they were amazed how strong they were and could knock them down.



Corben loved getting buried in the sand. He thought it was cool to have just his head sticking out.

Pretty much the whole time at the beach Makayla was collecting sea shells. She would wait for the waves to come in and then go back and run and get as many as she could before the next wave would come again.




We brought sand toys for Brielle to play with, it was just like a giant sandbox for her. She loved it.

Making footprints in the sand!

I loved just walking in the sand, it feels so good on your feet. Plus it makes them alot softer and get rid of all the dead skin on your feet. Love It!!

Getting ready to walk over to the beach from our Hotel. They had this little cars outside our Hotel so we thought it would be cute to get the kids picture on it.
