A Day at the Beach

While on our vacation in California, we decided to spend a little time at the beach. Lindy has been pestering us for a year or more, so it seemed time. The kids just loved it. The girls both jumped right in the water. I thought they'd be a little more nervous than they were.

Curtis ate sand (along with sea-water). Apparently he didn't mind so much because he did it again a few minutes later.

Ellie tried to give herself a mermaid tail.

Some "dude" was hanging out on the beach playing a drum (no, I don't know why) and Curtis was entranced. He watched the guy the entire time. When offered the chance to bang on the drum himself he balked and ran off.

He then spent the rest of his time trying to chase down a seagull.

What a great beginning to our fun vacation!

Perfect picture of Curtis chasing the seagull. That's a framer for sure.

One question: wasn't it cold? It's hard to believe that there's really somewhere in the world warm enough to wear a swimsuit.
