Trip to Santa Cruz

We decided to go to the beach at least once this summer and chose Santa Cruz since we have never been. It was a fairly nice drive, not too long, and beautiful weather. We were all amazed at the sea lions that were swimming about and basking in the sun. They were oblivious to the people, just enjoying hanging out on the pier and docks. But the kids wanted to watch them all day.LOOK HOW CLOSE THEY ARE!! Colton, "YEA, COOL!" Sarah, "OH MY!"
We were even lucky enough to get a family picture on the end of the pier. Isn't the ocean beautiful! It is so vast and amazing.
So I think if your kids are driving you crazy, running around and you can't keep up with them, just bary them in the sand and then they can't go anywhere. HEE, HEE! Just kidding. But the kids do look quite cute with just their faces sticking out of the sand.
But the only downer to covering the kids in sand is that all the sand does not come off. In fact there is quite a bit that stays on and they do not enjoy the moments of going out in the cold ocean water and trying to get at least some of the sand off.
Sarah had so much fun playing!! that she was not up for pictures.
Sunscreened up and ready to hit the Beach!!
Doesn't it look like FUN?! So many people just enjoying themselves.
We all had a Great time, even Jay. He is not our beach bum dad (He likes the snow and mountains) but he still had a really good time and we will probably be able to get him to go back. It helps that the weather is simply gorgeous there!
