Our Day At The Beach

So on our trip back home on 2/21/10 from going to Disneyland we decided to go to the beach before heading out. But first I have to share a funny breakfast story. We stopped for breakfast and when we were being seated the waitress asked if we would like a special menu for Tate. We were thinking it was specials they had, so we said sure. Nope, that wasn't it at all. She brought him a KIDS menu! Now the thing that's funny about that is that they only brought him a kids menu and not one for Alyssa. Tate is almost a year OLDER than Alyssa! Ya, he wasn't very happy about that one! The misconception probably was due to Alyssa is taller than Tate.

So here was our day at Huntington Beach...

We let the kids get in the water with ALL their clothes on...

They would wait for the waves to come crashing in and then they would run for shore...

She looks so serene standing there...

My macho man ;)

I think I was enjoying our day!

Ok..so it was semi-streaking...I didn't want to sit in the car with wet clothes on!...Pants came off, but my shirt was stretchy enough to cover the goods.
We made the kids change pants in the parking lot!

These were taken while we were seashell hunting...

Hi..meet my nephew Tate..who wasn't patient enough for a tissue. Yes, that's some sick snot hanging from his nose! He did that and I told him we have tissues ya know. So he asked for one...and I told him ya and grabbed the camera first..and then got him a tissue...

We ate a Joe's Crab Shack for lunch...

Mmm Margarita!

I just had to take a pic of this truck on the way home...

And the kids didn't fall asleep until about 1/2 hour from home...

And that is the conclusion of our California adventure for Alyssa's 13th Birthday.
