Beach photos

So we knew it was going to be sweltering in Bakersfield Sunday so we hit the road bound for Pismo Beach where it was supposed to be in the 80's and sunny... it wasn't. So the following are some of the pictures I took...enjoy!


John taking William towards the water
John turning his back on William so he could stop and remove his shoes...

I didn't keep a photo record of what happened next I was in too much shock...my poor baby. William of course walked into the water then was promptly knocked over by the smallest wave and overtaken by it. He was soaked within minutes of our arrival. And silly me I only brought one change of clothes and his swimsuit which John insisted he wouldn't need because they weren't going into the water. So into his swim clothes he went for the rest of the day until we left... then I put him in his extra romper for the trip home.

So once William was dried a bit and warmed up he got down to business
(I love this action shot of William digging and launching sand everywhere!)
And found a playmate named Zackary, incidently also from Bakersfield visiting Pismo with his Uncle who I know from swimming... lol what are the chances?!?
And for his first beach trip Luca was asleep! I guess while we were lugging the stroller through the sand Luca was lulled to sleep.. he was knocked out LOL!

After ample playtime... we moved onto Margo Dodd Park in Shell Beach(which was where John and were married)
The gazebo where we said our vows






Where we found birds... tons of birds...






From the Gazebo we walked over to Dinosaur Caves Park which has a pretty interesting history you can read about it here. And William quickly commenced climbing on anything and everything possible.

And Luca slept... who can blame him, he was snuggled in next to my heart









From the park we were off to the Rock & Roll Diner for dinner before headed back to Bakersfield...where SURPRISE Luca was awake (of course he was awake I was trying to eat dinner!)


Ketchup anyone?



Adios ... we're headed home

And soon after we left all was quiet and peaceful in the back seat
