Day 1 and 2 in California

Our trip to California turned out to be so much fun and very memorable. I think it was always be remembered as the trip when we found out Jared was getting into PA school and all the miracles that surrounded that. Our first day we didn't get there until about 1:00 so we just spent the afternoon at the beach. It was so funny to watch my kids. Caleb wanting NOTHING to do with the waves coming in so he wouldn't go near the water. If we tried to take him out to the water he would scream bloody murder. We tried getting him to just stand in the water but he would run like crazy for the beach. Oh well, at least Kyson seemed to enjoy it and they both loved playing in the sand.

Poor Caleb just couldn't face his fear of the waves...

This was his preferred location:)

At least he enjoyed throwing the frisbee around!



That evening we had dinner at the Crab Shack. It was really good, but quite expensive. We all shared our meal so we got to try quite a few different things. It was a new experience for me because I had never eaten crab before. It's really good, but a lot of work to eat!!! That night we were able to stay in a motel right on the beach called the Bahia. It was fun being so close to the beach. The next morning rented bikes and a bike trailer for the boys and rode around all day. It was a lot of fun and I highly recommend doing it! It wasn't very expensive for a day of fun!

The bike shop didn't open until ten so we walked around our motel a little while and took a few pictures...



We stopped and had lunch at a park and then loaded up to ride some more!



We parked the bikes for a little while and played at the beach again.

Jared and Dallas dug really deep holes...

Our boys loved it!


Anytime anyone would build a sand castle Kyson would run and knock it over. I decided to build a bunch in a cicle and sat him right in the middle!

Oops...got a mouthful:)

And the best sand castle of the day award goes to......Jared!

By the end of the day we had all had so much fun we all needed this:
