California {Fun} in the Sun

 Elsie woke up pretty early so her and I headed out for a nice walk around the hotel.  We discovered so much that we didn't see the last time we were here.  There was this huge park area with a basketball court, playground, tether ball spots, putting greens, and sandboxes.  It was so nice.  Plus there was a beautiful balcony and water fountain.  We couldn't wait to show the others what we had found.  Elsie even saw three bunnies hopping around.

Ellie loved the tether ball.

 After the walk we headed over to the pool which was also something we didn't see last time.  It was huge with two more pools by it and hot tubs all around.  You could almost have your own hot tub.  The weather was a bit chilly so we did spend a lot of time at the hot tub.

 Emry was so good.  She played for a bit and then she took a nap by the pool.  The kids were able to play for a while here.

The hotel offers a shuttle service to the beach so after we ate lunch we packed up and headed down to Crystal Cove.  We had never been here before.  It was such a pretty beach.  Because the weather was so crummy we basically had the beach to ourselves.  I could get use to that.

Elsie and Emry were the only two that got buried this year.  Elsie thought it was a lot of fun but Emry thought we were the meanest people in the world.

She doesn't look to upset but once her arms were all the way covered she freaked. (can't say I blame her)

This has to be one of my favorite pictures from the trip.

 It was an adventure having a crawling baby on the beach.  She loved the seaweed and if I took it away from her she would scream at me.  She loved the sand and ate more than she should have.  

I could live at the beach.  The kids really enjoy themselves and get along so well.  

 These people make my heart happy.

We had such a fun day.  We headed back to the hotel and cleaned up.  I had put sunscreen on this little bambino but apparently not enough. Poor little lady was fried.  She didn't seem to mind though.  She was having to much fun in the big bath playing with the water.

We need to hurry and get to bed because tomorrow is a big day...DISNEYLAND here we come.
