Is summer really over????

I was in denial. . .

over a lot of things. . .

One, that this was our last weekend of summer vacation.

Two, that we had not been to a beach all summer.

Three, that our "beach house" vacation was no longer an annual event and that we have to wait a whole entire year until we go again!

and

Four, that it was going to be 110 degrees in Sacramento!

So, we ditched the heat and headed to the BEACH!

(along with the million other families that decided to head to cooler weather too)

I couldn't believe that in all the years we have lived here we had never taken the kids to

Half Moon Bay before.

We won't be making that same mistake!

It was the perfect day!

Overcast, and a little foggy but not windy!

Seriously, one afternoon and we needed all this stuff!

(you can't even see me who as usual carries the most stuff!)

But, totally worth it!

As soon as we set our stuff down in the sand, the boys were off.

And after a little while of fascination with feeding the birds. . .

And a little convincing by dad. . .

she was in the water and loving it!

First on the agenda was sandcastle building. . .

That didn't last long for this one.

He saw the kids next to him digging a gigantic hole and he decided he could dig one as well!

She loved that I showed her she could draw with her fingers on the castle!

We ate. . .

Played in the water more!

Played some Frisbee. . .

Tried to get DAD in the water. . .

Made Karalyn into a Mermaid. . .

Did some handstands. . .

 Ate some sand. . .

Had some sand wars. . .

 And posed for pictures for MOM!

We outlasted almost everyone that day at the beach. . .

We watched the sun set. . .

and then packed it for home!

PERFECT DAY!
