We loved the beach we spent 2 days and 1 night at the beach while we were in California, Jacob loved the beach on the first day there he even went out on the boogie board. He was getting pretty good at it. Sadly I didn't get a picture of him on the board. The first day it was so cold though that did not stop the kids from playing for hours in the water that was 64 degrees. And though is was over cast most came away with a nice burn. Poor Sierra had forgotten to put on sunscreen on her face and she fried. When we were at grandma's house the boys would disappear and play the Wii it was a great time with friends.
