the Beach

While in California, we spent a day at the beach.  Ellie was not a fan of sitting in the sand, or touching the cold water, but as long as she could sit on a towel and eat grapes, she was happy.  Katie and Amanda loved it and helped Dad start a sand castle.  They ended up just burying each other though.  Lots of fun!

 

 Katie fears nothing!

 Checking the hole size.  Ellie has no idea what's coming. . . .

 Katie thought it was fun to be buried in the sand; Amanda played along because her big sister did it.  Ellie just thought we were silly, and was ready to be out after about 90 seconds.  :)

 The group at the beach.  After we'd had our fill of playing, we went to that restaurant that's at the end of the pier.  It's called Ruby's.  It was a fun diner, and had awesome shakes and sundaes.  I know.  We tried them!
