The last day we were in California we went to Santa Monica Beach. It was overcast, windy and not very warm which was kind of a bummer, but despite all of that the kids had so much fun. Kam & Kaylee only liked the water for a little bit but preferred playing in the sand on the beach. Addi & Jadyn spent pretty much the entire time in the water and dug up some pretty unique looking "crab bugs" for lack of a better word. (They claim they found a new species of crab! :) ) Thank heavens for Jake and my dad they took the kids down in the ocean and let them play I'm too big of a wuss and even getting my feet wet taking pictures was a little too cold for me. If they wouldn't have been there... let's just say the kids' ocean swim would've been very short lived!
After we got done spending a couple of hours on the beach we walked over to the pier to wash the kids off and eat an early dinner before taking the drive back to the motel where we were staying that not in Ontario. We walked all the way to the end of the pier saw some people fishing and checked out the boats in the ocean - although there weren't many it's funny what we consider mild winds scares people on the oceanside like no other. We're used to 90 MPH wind gusts and I really didn't think it was THAT windy there haha. After we walked the pier and checked everything out we ate at Bubba Gump's for dinner and then headed on what we thought would be a fairly short trek back to the motel. It was only 50 Miles from the beach... but took us at least 3 hours to get there INSANE!! We're not used to that kind of traffic at all. Around here 50 miles takes you at most 40 minutes! :) Once we got back to the motel we took the kids for a swim in the coldest pool I have ever been in and then called it a night.
We had so much fun in California it was just too bad that it came and went soooooo fast!!!
