In California, we explored different beaches almost everyday. From the Silver Strand on Coronado Island to Oceanside, we hit all the best beaches.
It's hard to say which was more fun: sand or surf. Alli ran straight into the water and was soaked from the first instant. Ruby liked to flirt with the water... get a little on her toes and then run away. After an hour or so, her curls would be just barely moist. June got her toes in the ocean... it was cold. Alli and Ruby loved digging in the sand and building castles and getting buried. On Coronado Island, Ruby spent nearly an hour drawing pictures in the sand. If she didn't like how it was going, she erased it by smoothing the sand back down. She covered a huge area on the beach with her drawings: big heads with arms and legs coming right out of them.
June spent much of her beach time parked next to her cousin Lily in the shade. The sound of the ocean must have relaxed her, because she took good naps at the beach.
Apparently, the ocean also relaxed Andy and Grandpa Utah.
We found lots of interesting things on the beaches: a living sand dollar, clams (even a BIG one), sand crabs... other sea creatures that I don't know what they are called...
Ruby also found lots of "treasures" like rocks, shells, garbage, old forks, coins, bottle caps, popsicle sticks... Her curls got brighter in the sun and her skin turned golden (even with SPF 55!).
Andy dug a great big hole. Huge. Eventually the waves came and erased it with a few passes.
Andy thinks I'm hot in my swim suit.
Beach vacations rock!
