A Day at the Beach

Eric had Friday and Monday off for Labor Day and the weather around here has been quite warm, fall is summer here on the central coast, so we spent Friday at the beach to cool off.  We also spent Saturday and Monday at the pool...  There are only a couple days or weeks in the year in which A/C would be nice, and that weekend was one of them.  Anyway, we went up to Avila Beach, stopping at the Red Barn to feed the animals and pick up some peaches and berry cobbler, before hitting the sand.

 Lillie spent her time running back and forth for water to build sand castles with.

 That day was the longest that Henry had ever spent in the Pacific Ocean.  He does not like the cold water, but he was in above his waist for most of the day.  Next time we'll take the boogie board and give the kids rides.

 We saw probably 15 dolphins that day, swimming by close to shore.  Too cool.

 These kids were covered head to toe in sand by the end of the day.  Baby bump was also there.

 Building a sand volcano.

Henry spent a lot of time chasing sea gulls around.
