Laguna Beach

On our second day in sunny California, we found a beautiful beach to build sand castles, dig holes, and stick our feet in the cold, cold water. We couldn't have asked for nicer weather. It was mid-70's all week. This beach had a park right next to it, so Drew was in heaven, swinging for hours next to the beach!

He loved to put his feet in the water and didn't seem to mind how cold it was. Allie would run after the water as it was receding back, and then high tail it back to dry ground when the water would come back in. She wanted to play, but didn't want the water to touch her.

We packed a picnic lunch and enjoyed some wonderful family time. It's so fun to just hang out together and laugh. We love our kids so much, and thoroughly enjoy being with them. They are just so darn cute, and have these amazing (yet totally different) personalities.

My highlight of the day was building and decorating a sand castle with Allie. She collected all the beautiful sea weed pieces she could find. Each little piece was a treasure, and had to go on our castle. She's so creative and has such a fun imagination. I truly am so lucky to be her mom!

So, I look over at Drew and he's doing a head stand in the sand. Not just once or twice, but he kept doing it over and over. The sand was moist and sticky, so some of it stuck with him throughout the day.
