On Day 5 we headed down the California coast toward San Diego. We decided that rather than do two animal days (SD Zoo & Wild Animal Park) as planned, we'd do two beach days with our animals. The weather had warmed up some and the beach was wider so the kids had more room to play and after Saturday's lessons, they felt more confident in their ocean survival skills.Sam was much happier digging in the sand and cleaning his sister's seashells, and his hands, and his feet, than venturing into the waves. Remind me to keep an eye on the compulsive cleanliness of this one.
Daddy and Chloe take the first dip of the day. 
I love this picture of Catherine.
When I was 7, if a kelp wrapped itself around my leg like this, I would not have been happy. I'm glad Madelyn is not as prissy as me. She actually enjoyed this kelp attack and stripped its leaves to make a 'snake' for Seth.
Madelyn just couldn't get enough of the beach. She jumped waves, scouted out the best shells, and dug sand pits which she and her sisters transformed into mini-oceans.
Catherine was very sweet with Seth this day. They were wave runners together.
Go, Seth, Go!
Harrison got his toes wet too. The first day we did this the cold shocked him and he wasn't too happy. On this day he seemed to enjoy the sand in his toes and watching the waves creep ever closer.
Another great day of beach fun!
