CA Beach Trip 2014- part 1



Last week, we returned from another fun-filled two weeks in California!  We spent the first week at the beach house and enjoyed great weather and time together as a family.  I labeled this post "part 1" because I have too many pictures of our two-week trip to fit on one post!  Enjoy seeing the highlights of our first week in CA...
just off the plane and meeting Uncle Phil, Aunt Lauren, Charlie & Ethan for breakfast

Grandpa took us out to Yogurtland so Jackson could try the pistachio frozen yogurt.  Continuing their love of all things pistachio :)

morning walk with Grandma & Grandpa

Jackson loves setting up the pinwheels and watching them spin in the breeze.  He has done this every year since he was a baby!
Lily was a boogie-boarding machine this year!  So fun watching her catch waves and enjoy the ocean.

Grandpa was a crack-up.  Splashing the grandkids and joining in on water fights.


   
Jackson was having a difficult time finishing his spaghetti.  Instead of listening to the never-ending battle of the wills between he and I, Grandpa intervened by pouring some syrup on it.  It was gone within minutes. Couldn't help but laugh as I remembered this scene from the movie "Elf".

the tide was high this year, so it left some huge sand bars for the kids to jump off of 
painting bird houses
watching sissy boogie-board
Jackson mastered the "beach nap" this trip.  He plopped down about the same time every day and had a nice siesta under the sun.
