Our Last Beach Day

Summer is ending! Living in California, one thing you have to do every summer, is hit the beach at least once! We made our way here before the weather gets too cold to come back for a while. There are so many beaches out here, but I think Seal Beach will always be my favorite.

Beach Babes

I went to Seal Beach with my friends and their kids, and it was so much fun! Katherine brought her two daughters (Izzy & Audri) and her sister (Shannon), Laura brought her two daughters (Emma & Brooke) and her friend Tina and her son Dustin, and I brought Katie, Emma and Lauryn. We brought lunch so the kids could eat when we got there, and I used the Pinterest idea I found, using a fitted sheet to keep the sand off your blanket. Worked pretty well until the kids kept getting on and off the sheet with their sandy feet, lol. At least their food was sand free.

They dug, made sandcastles, played in the water.

The best part of the day would probably be the boogie board though, of course! Katie was a superstar on it, and I helped Dustin and Izzy go on it a few times, too. They liked it!

Super fun day, my only regret is not getting a group photo!

Spring Break At Seal Beach

During Katie's Spring Break, we went to the beach. It was Emma's first time! Katie had so much fun on her boogie board! She is getting better at it each time we go. She stays on that thing for hours!

 Back in the water again! A true beach babe. I love her.

Pretty nice day all in all. The kids all had a blast, Katie had the best time on her boogie board, and Emma just enjoys being outside and being given attention. So much fun. Lucky to have so much family around me, I love them all so much.

Seal Beach, CA

David and I took Katie to the beach to boogie board and play in the water. We went to the very far end that I've never been to before, because it was so crazy crowded and there was no parking anywhere! It got windy fast, I didn't think the weather would be cold since it's July! Bummer. Still an awesome time though.

 Katie is getting so good at the boogie board, she's awesome on it. She catches her wave and rides it all the way to the sand. I'm proud of this cute little girl. She's getting brave =)

 There was a little restaurant there, so we ordered food before driving home. Just burgers and fries. Katie was cold so I had to give her my jacket, she looks so dang cute. I love her so very much. Super fun day with the family =)

Mother's Day At Seal Beach

I like to go places for Mother's Day. My Mom does too :p Nicer to spend the day together doing something fun, rather than just do dinner and a present. We have been going to Seal Beach for the past few years. We went again this year, with Ashleigh, Anthony, the kids, and Mary. David stayed home to have dinner with his Mom. I am 22 weeks pregnant today =) When we got to the beach, there were no parking spots! It was frustrating. When we finally got one, we unloaded our trunks with all the towels and sand toys and boogie boards.

We went to zPizza for lunch.

The girls had so much fun playing together in the water.

Katie was singing into the ocean like Ariel. She's so cute.

Katie had a great time playing with my Mom today.

The girls loved the boogie boards. All 3 of them, and the 2 Grandma's played on them.

Their sand castle.

We ended the day with a walk down the boardwalk and ice cream at Cold Stone.

Super fun day!

The best part of Mother's Day, the special gifts from Katie. She made me a beautiful card and flower picture at school this year. So cute =)

 David also bought me a cute frame and necklace. He's so sweet. The frame was of our beautiful baby girl in my tummy. We can't wait to meet her! I love my family so much! I'm thankful for all 3 of them!
