California Christmas: The Beach!

Thursday was beach day! This was Hazel the moment her bare feet hit the sand...

Hazel LOVED it! She made a sand castle, found sand crabs, played ball with daddy, got soaked walking near the water, and just loved every second of it.


Eliza on the other hand wanted nothing to do with the sand at first. Grandpa took her off for a little adventure and before we knew it she too loved the sand. She spent the last half hour we were there running all over and laughing. So cute!



 Grandma and Jamie made an even cooler sand castle which they let Hazel knock over at the end:)

We ended the day with lunch at Ruby's on the end of the pier. Eliza LOVED all the birds and said bird every time she saw one. After Ruby's we took the ferry to Balboa Island (but sadly the girls fell asleep in the car). I finally tried the famous Balboa Bars and frozen banana bars, yum!

Michael was hoping to go surfing while we were there but it didn't work out. But, he loved breathing in the fresh beach air:) The next day it was time for us to drive home. We had such a fun trip full of all the best things in life - sun, relaxing, and most importantly family!
