Beach!

We haven't been to the beach with our kids since Olivia was a tiny babe. It was time. The children had so much fun! Olivia was so gung ho and ready to play in the waves, but early on a wave knocked her over as she was filling up a bucket—made for a sad face plant in the water. Needless to say she was not a huge fan of beach time from there on out.

 

 

This cute beach with all the sailboats and the lighthouse is called Twin Lakes and was about a 5 minute drive from our beach house (we were actually in a little town called Capitola, 

just outside Santa Cruz).

 

Luke's first time at the beach! It was rather windy so I was trying to keep him under wraps.

 Livs recovering after her fall in the waves.

Once she calmed down I took a turn snuggling her and she fell right to sleep in my arms.

   

Jack had a similar "water fall" as Livs and needed some recovery time too.

Lots of "kids" loving the water
