Californee-i-ay: Day 2 and 3

At the beach alone.  Alone, alone.  All the cousins went to Disneyland for the day.  (I wasn't about to go with 5 chillens, sans Zach.  And, do you know what?  The kids didn't mind.  Really.)  The beach was deserted, and the kids had a blast.  Until the wind picked up and the rain started.

 Playing in the waves:

 Except this kid.  He doesn't do water.  Unless it's a bath.

 But Adam had a shovel and a badminton racket.  Could life get better for a 4 year old?  I contend that it could not.

 Lu, having the time of her life.

 Frozen "I"cycle:

 I should never have told him what Calvin does in pictures. 

 Because I get a whole lot of this:

We had so much fun in California.  The deserted beach was probably my very favorite thing.  I love to read a good book listening to the waves crash.  Which is pretty much impossible to do with a 10 month old in tow.  But I can dream for the future.
