The Beach
We had a terrific week at the beach.
Amazing! Just a five hour drive and we went from this...
to this...
where we could finally enjoy being this!
The kids had a great time...
imitating characters from a favorite book...
laughing...
getting very, very sandy...
looking for seashells, building sand castles, sea rock trains, horse corrals and writing our names in the sand.
Sushi, Hot Surfing Husband, great books, cheap wine, content children, beach chair, dark chocolate, perfect weather = Very Happy Mama!!!
Every time Donnie went out to do this...
his little grom did this, (he wanted to go with his Daddy).
At the end of each day, we had two very tired babies...
We had an amazing day at Sea World. Gracie and I sat in the Splash Zone at the Shamu Show and got totally soaked. It was so much fun!!!
We had Lunch with Shamu, our very own private show and an opportunity to meet with Shamu's trainer. All of us were given the opportunity to ask the trainer a question. Gracie's question... "What does whale poop look like?"
Lunch was great and seeing the whales up close was a real treat.
Gracie's favorite's at Sea World included the show Pets Rule, the tide pools and getting splashed by Shamu.
Nathan was fascinated by the starfish and loved the climbing structures at the Sesame Street Bay of Play.
We met Zoey and Elmo on Sesame Street. As soon as the kids saw them they all ran to each other for a giant group hug.
We had a great day at Sea World... we go every year and we can't wait to go back.
All of us LOVE hotels, we didn't want to ever leave.
Before leaving town we stopped at the beach to say goodbye till next time.
We love California. But today our hearts were in New York...
Families that wear Rainbows together... stick together!

You take the most splendid photos, Loraine! I love looking at your blog and watching your children grow - even if I'm not related to them in any way. :-)
