Ohhhh, how Rand and Ella love the beach. They have so much fun playing there. I think it is their favorite thing about California.

Everybody loved being buried by Grandpa!

Rand had an epic frisbee tournament with Grandma, then we went rock climbing!

The kids all found "buried pirate treasure"....lots of tiny rocks mixed with pieces of broken glass. Awesome.

We found a bunch of tiny tidepools with little crabs -- Rand liked holding the crabs and letting them walk on his hand, while Ella and Elijah were content to watch them walk around on the rocks til they fell back into the water. Rand and I also found lots of sea anemones and I showed him how if you touch them gently they shrink up. He thought that was awesome and did that to as many as he could until the tide started getting too high.
