Beach Day

After a nice mellow 4th I decided today we needed to beat the heat and go to the beach. While I was packing up for the beach this morning, I heard a banging noise coming from the bathroom. I went in and found Shawn sitting in the sink and using mine and Zach's toothbrushes like drum sticks in the sink. He thought he was pretty hot stuff sitting up there and was not to excited about getting down.We headed down to Salt Creek around 11:30am. If you haven't guessed by now this is my favorite beach in OC. When we got there it was a bit overcast but the sun kept poking in and out.

I like this picture. It looks like this is our own private beach, that just happens to have the ritz carlton in the background. The area we sat in was not very crowded at all. I still sit in the surfing section like I did when I was in high school. You dont have to deal with all the families and the screaming kids like you do in the swimming section. Even though I now fit into that category. When did that happen a stroller, a chair and an umbrella? When we stopped by my mom's to say hi and drop Dan off (he was there surfing so we gave him a ride home) she said "geez you have a lot of stuff with you today" I just mumbled "yeah gone are my days of going to the beach with just a towel and a magazine" O well Shawn is worth it. But for now at least for this summer I am staying in the surfing section. I'm still or still feel to young to sit in the family section.

As you can see the family section looks a bit more crowded and less relaxing.

Shawn waiting to jump in a wave.

He is so happy when he is at the beach!

He likes to run away from the waves.

Shawn trying to build his own castle. He knocked down the one I built him.

Sand and goldfish crackers make a great snack when you are at the beach.

There is Dan, I tried to get a good shot of him surfing but I just couldn't time it right. Shawn stands on the shore and yells Dan every time he sees a surfer. He thinks any blonde guy on a board is his uncle. When Dan got out of the water and Shawn noticed him he was so excited to see Dan at the beach. We had a great time. Shawn jumped in Grandma's pool to rinse off and we headed home. Shawn fell asleep in the car (of course) and is still sleeping. Hopefully he will wake up in time for dinner and be in his normal happy mood.
