Laguna Beach

We made it to Laguna Beach with my family, post-graduation festivities, and had a wonderful time wave jumping, building sand castles, exploring the beach and playing together!

Cousins!  Ben, Ellie, Geoffrey and Maddie

Sarah and Joy had the perfect little set-up for the day!

Oh, and there had to be time made for this...

There had been an unbelievable amount of Tuna Crabs that had washed up onshore, up and down the California Coast.  I mean, there were areas of the beach that were hard to walk along without stepping all over these little guys.  (Sure made for some fun moments with my kids!) 

No, my daughter doesn't have personality at all...

Filling up their buckets with water.

Daddy and Geoffrey -- if it weren't for an adult, that child would have no fear walking straight out to sea!

Baby Joy's first trip to the beach (4 weeks old).

Her first dip in the ocean.

We were so surprised with how well she handled it!

Three beautiful girls.

She really liked it!

Pretty much the best game EVER!!

Grandma helped the kids build an amazing kingdom, complete with multiple castles adorned with tuna crabs! ;) 

Grandma and Grandpa, with most of their crew!  Oh, boy, was there a lot of giggling going on!

Sister Selfie!  (with a photo bomb from Joy.  Its okay, baby girl.  Just this once.)

Chasing Grandpa!

Can you see Geoffrey about to lunge forward, into the water?

And what better picture to finish this post off with than this?  :)
