Bolsa Chica State Beach

by Angie on March 31, 2008

I was skeptical when Jeff proposed taking the kids to the beach. Not only are we white as ghosts from living in Oregon, but I was concerned about watching all of the kids in the ocean. My pessimism was unfounded though, and we had a GREAT time. Garrett, Grace and John especially loved everything about the beach. Emma was too cold and has negative memories of the water from our St. Martin trip to really enjoy it, and Jacob did not like walking on the sand. Or getting sand dumped on his head. Repeatedly.

Thaose collages are WONDERFUL!!! The beach is WAY more fun with the kids than I thought it could be as well. I’m so glad you had fun!

♥ It looks like a great time. Although I see how Jacob would be tired of the sand dumping! :)

So glad that your pessimism didn’t come true too…nothing better than a trip to the beach! I’m hoping we get to take the girls to the beach this year too at a toddler-friendly beach. Out trip to Tahoe last year had water that was too cold!

How fun! I love all the photos. The kiddies look like they had a blast. The sand on poor little Jacobs head, and Emma covered up!
R&R is the best!

Looks like a great time! However, I didn’t see All of you guys in those middle pictures. There seemed to be someone missing..hmm I wonder who that is?:) I seem to be missing from our pictures as well.:):) I know I wouldn’t make it into a beach picture. Your kids are so cute.

Spectacular photos! Nothing better than babies in the sand, I always say! Glad you had a good time and welcome back.

Not to draw your attention to it, but I am in one picture…..second row in third row up from the bottom……

Love the pictures! Love the sunshine. I am so glad your kids soaked up the sun! My girls would not walk on sand at that age either. We have such funny videos of that stage. It was absolute terror!

17 Dru April 1, 2008 at 1:13 am

I LOVE the beach. I’m glad you guys had a good time.

Angie, if I ever have kids, I want them to be just like yours : )

19 My name is Tammie April 1, 2008 at 4:59 am

Ohhh those are great! You may have just inspired me. The kids havent been to the beach on the west coast ever. They played in Cape Cod but they wouldn’t remember it. I must take them. :D

Happy Birthday – hope you had a lovely day

21 Robin April 1, 2008 at 11:50 am

What a fun trip! My kids love the beach, and now that they’re getting a bit older and more self-sufficient I love it again too.

22 The Murray Crew April 1, 2008 at 12:52 pm

Oh DO I miss the BEACH! Beautiful pic, Ang. Especially the one with everyone heading to the water – that’s my fav! =)

Happy Birthday, special mama! Hope you have a AWESOME Day and a huge slice of cake!

We went to the beach too, but we went down to Huntington. We always have to do a little ‘Shopping!’
We’ll be posting our beach pics soon.

27 Tiffany April 3, 2008 at 7:52 pm

So much fun. I miss the beach. Ryan has never seen the ocean, hopefully someday soon he will.
