Day 4 (Almost Done!)

Day 4 we decided to meet up with some friends from Idaho Falls and go to Corona Del Mar beach/park. It was a perfect day, but the water wasn't so perfect. It was pretty cold and the water had tons of seaweed and gunk. So the kids didn't want to swim in the water. They had more fun playing in the sand and finding sea shells and other sea creatures. Here's the beautiful view from our parking spot up on the hill. The houses were amazing! I could easily live just up from the beach in one of these mansions!

Asia and her masterpiece:
Ethan with his discoveries. He even found some hermit crabs. He wanted to take them home, but decided they would have a better home at the real beach.
This is my favorite thing to do at the beach. Soak up the sun and take yummy naps. And no, I am not topless, much to Mike's chagrin. This was not that kind of beach!


More fun in the sand:
Getting ice cream cones at Ruby's and the view from there:

It was a nice break from Disneyland and a beautiful day to play at the beach. We went to our friend's beach house at Seal Beach after that and had pizza and played. Fun times.
