Laguna Beach

When we looked at the weather before we left for Vacation. It wasn’t good. Rain every single day.  Driving there we hit a terrible snow storm. But somehow each day turned out wonderful. Our beach day was no different. We arrived to overcast skies (quite common at any beach early in the morning) that soon burned off to reveal a perfect beach day. Pretty amazing in February!

It took two seconds for my crazy kids to run right into the Ocean. Didn’t matter how cold it was. My kids are fish.  I grew up going to the beach all the time and I am not sure I was ever so brave!

When I say my kids I should be more clear. Some of my kids. These two weren’t so sure at first and who could blame them it was cold!

 

Since I stayed in my sweat suit all day even when the sun did come out. I guess they get that from me.

While they went to the tide pools….

We checked out the park right on the beach. Swinging on the beach was perfect!

The sun finally did come out.  Below are some of my favorite pictures of the day. The girls finally did get very comfortable playing in the sand and surf.

When they boys weren’t in the surf they were playing football with their Dad’s.

It was really the perfect beach day… Until Lindsey came out of the surf gushing blood. At first it looked a lot worse than it was and it only turned out to be a smashed nose from body surfing. She did have a a lot of blood and a scraped nose to remember the event with.

Grandma and Grandpa spent the afternoon at the restaurant above the beach. Enjoying the view.  We went up and had lunch with them, it was so good.

Perfect day, except for the injury. She looks as if she handled it like a trooper, though!

What a perfect day! I am so ready for beach days this summer. I am cold chicken too. I would have been right there with you in my sweats LOL.

Poor Lindsey, glad it wasn't as bad as it looks.
