The Beach

So the weather wasn't fantastic for the beach but we made a go of it anyway. The first day we tried the beach only Coleman and Chloe were brave enough to put on their suits and head into the water. It was freezing but they didn't seem to mind too much. The second day we hit the beach we were able to go with Trent's cousin, Travis. It was fun to spend some time with him, Trent only sees him every few years.
I love this picture...such a classic bum shot....
Jayden can't even put that phone down when she is in the ocean!!

This swimming suit just makes me want to break out in song..."It was an itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini..."Annabelle did not like the sand unless we were close to the water. I think it was hard for her to walk in it and she didn't like to feel it between her toes. Finally after a few hours at the beach she decided that sand wasn't so bad...We had to leave like 10 minutes later. Good thing our entire play area in the backyard is covered in sand.
Coleman had a blast in the sand. He built sand castle after sand castle, dug in the sand, and just entertained himself for hours. Too bad we don't live closer to a beach... my life would be a whole lot easier with him!



So right after we got to the beach of course Chloe had to go the potty. Trent told her to go in the ocean. She ran to the ocean, got into the water up to her ankles and started to pee. It was hilarious! We finally convinced her to "wash off" by sitting in the water.
When we were at Pacific Beach the birds were EVERYWHERE! They would come right up to you to try to get food. Chloe and Annabelle were both facinated by them.

Chloe and Jayden on the beach...making sand pies....
