~San Clemente Beach~

One of the days while we were in California we decided that we were going to take a break from theme parks for the day so we went for a drive down the coast. What a beautiful drive. I really enjoyed going through all the little towns and seeing all the beautiful homes and the large boats. After a little while in the car the boys were getting a little restless so we decided to take a break at San Clemente Beach.Just after we parked our car I saw this little Volkswagen Thing in the parking lot. I just had to have a picture of it. I think it would be something fun to drive around in if I lived there. Anyway here are more pictures of our day. . . .
Kode and I taking a quick picture! Just before we walked the Beach we stopped at a really good restaurant there on the beach to have some lunch (some clam chowder soup. and man it was the best clam chowder soup I have ever had)
This is what the water looked like. You could see it for miles. It was so BEAUTIFUL!!
Shawn showed the boys these muscles that were attached to this pole. The boys were interested in how they got there and how they were still hanging on there!
Just the two of us!
Grams and Bry watching the water as it came up the beach
When we first got to the beach Bry didn't want to get wet nor did he want to take off his shoes. He said he just wanted to walk around just for a few! Ha Ha! It was only about 5 minutes into walking the beach when he asked if he could take off his shoes and play in the water. This picture was taken just after he took off his shoes and felt the sand on his feet for the first time! It was so fun watching him play in the water and on the beach!
Kode just wanted to play on the beach. He had no interest in playing out in the water. He said he really wanted to build a sand castle but this kind of sand you could not build anything. So he just dug in the sand and made little puddles!
Bry taking a break from wading in the ocean and came to see what Kode was doing. He figured that Kode needed some help!
just another picture of them playing!
As Shawn and Roger were walking the beach Roger found this crab. They hooted for us to come over to take a look at it. This was the first time that the boys had ever seen a real crab, so it was pretty cool that they talked Kode into picking it up and of course I had to have a picture! Awesome braveness Kode!
Grams and Bry wading in the ocean. Bry just made me laugh cause he said he just was not going to get wet and he was doing everything to try to prevent it like holding his rolled up pants as high as he could but no matter what he did he still got pretty wet. It was fine cause he had lots of fun!
Just walking the beach
We had a great time roaming the beach. It was so nice cause there was hardly any people there. It was a little chilly out but still a nice day to enjoy ourselves at the beach. It makes me want to live a little closer to a beach so we could visit more often!
