The third day in California, we woke up and enjoyed our comfy room,
and the view for a little while.
It was my birthday, and Jess had looked up some breakfast places because I love me some breakfast. So we tried a little cafe, and it was SO good. We sat out at a table on the sidewalk, the weather was perfect, and our food was awesome. We had the nicest little older lady as our waitress, and she kept complimenting us on how good our kids were. That's always nice to hear.
The juice was the best part of the meal. We had orange juice, and Neely had apple, and both types were clearly made fresh there. SO good.
Paige can eat as much as most adults when it comes to pizza or pancakes. So instead of the kids pancakes we got her the "One Big Buttermilk Pancake" off the regular menu. I didn't realize they meant one BIG pancake.
She made a good dent in it anyway.
Then we drove around for a short bit, and headed for the beach to meet the Cassons. Once we found a parking place, changed everyone into swimsuits, found a spot on the beach, and got sunscreen on all the kids, we had a good time. :)
Paige and Cason have both been to the beach, but the last time Cason went he was just over a year old. Paige mostly LOVED the waves, and getting crushed by them with Jess. Cason went back and forth between the waves and building sandcastles with Liam.
Those boys were pretty cute.
Liam seemed to really like the sandcastles. I somehow didn't see much of Colin at the beach, so I'm not sure what his favorite part was.
Neither Neely or Reed had ever been. Neely liked it, but didn't seem overly impressed.
She sort of walked happily back and forth between the water and the sandcastles, never getting fully into either one.
Eventually she fell asleep on the blanket and had a little nap.
Reed loved the sand.
He spent some time gazing at the ocean when he got sleepy.
...and then he was out.
With his sandy lashes.
