Our first stop was the beach. We were camped three spots away from the beach. The kids grabbed their buckets and shovels, which we scored the day before in the Michael's $1 bins. Seth and Sam were initially not sure what to make of all this water. The girls took off as you can see in the background.
Running from waves is so much fun...
...until one catches you or you trip on your water socks that were bought to grow into and fall face first into the sand and surf. 
Or you finally muster up the courage to venture into the biggest pool ever and somehow come out soaking wet. Yes, three of our brood ended up drenched in the first 10 minutes of beach play. We talked about what we learned about the ocean as a family and Mark and I noted that no matter how lukewarm it was swimsuits are a better option for beach time.
We headed out for an afternoon walk since the cloud cover stole our warmth. The girls loved having their scooters along this trip.
Some scenery shots. I love the tall palms.
It felt so lush compared to our desert digs

Always happy to go for a ride

Gotta love ANY beach picture with wet kids wearing jackets!! They are so glutton for punishment, aren't they? Really great they had their scooters....don't you wish you could have taken those in to Disney?! When I would visit my aunt/cousins in CA every summer we'd have a family bbq at Doheny Beach....such fun memories!
