Of course we couldn't be here too long without taking the girls on their first trip to the Pacific Ocean. When we were househunting we had visited a beach path and taken a walk, and while on our walk we saw a playground and a cool zipline. The kids have been asking to go to that beach ever since. So on Sunday we loaded up and drove about 15 minutes to that beach.
The girls ripped off their shoes and hit the zipline right away.
After a few (dozen) turns on the zip line the girls were ready to head down to the water and play in the sand.
The water is pretty chilly this time of year, but that didn't stop the kids at all, and in the end we all waded in up to our knees. It wasn't too bad once you got used to it.
There were tons of people out surfing and we were all impressed by them. It made us want to try surfing, even though it seems pretty intimidating. Austyn got inspired by the surfer's "cool tricks" and took to the sand to do some cool tricks of her own.
After that we headed up to do the zip line a few last times. Dave finally told the girls they could each go one more time, and on the very last zip line trip a seagull let Dave know he had overstayed his welcome by making a "special delivery" all over Dave's shirt, arm, and hand! He ran to the water to wash it off before I even knew what had happened. I couldn't believe he didn't wait and let me get a picture for the blog!!
