Sunny California

We just returned from spending a few days in Los Angeles, CA with Ben and Mara. We had a great time relaxing and tried to go to the beach almost every day. The weather wasn't quite as warm as we had hoped for, but we were still really glad to see the ocean.
At the first place we stopped we had only been out of the car a few minutes and we saw about 6 dolphins swim past us. It was pretty cool. I was too slow to catch them on camera, but here are Caleb and Gavin watching them swim by.
It was really nice just to be able to sit and enjoy the sun and surf.
Truns out the ocean was a bit too loud for Gavin and he was actually kind of scared of the water... this is him running away after we tried to coax him near a wave.He did however have a great time increasing his rock collection ten fold.
And Dad was able to coax him into getting his feet wet just this once...

Since we had previously only seen the ocean from the Oregon coast it was a nice change to not feel like your feet might fall off when they touched the water.
Knocking over sandcastles is actually more fun than building them, in our world.
Here is Henry looking all grown up and ready for the beach... it was too windy for him to get much time to lay in the sun though.
The last night in California we went to Muscle Beach for a beautiful evening to watch the sunset.
Gavin and Dad decide to use the time to work out on the rings and get in shape.
What a fabulous iron cross!
Ocean Sunsets are always the best.
