Beaches

We went to several beautiful beaches on the vacay. They always seem like such a good idea at the time. And then I get wet....and hot....and sandy. It's a little overrated if you ask me. But, it's still beautiful and the kids love it, so whatevs.

Our first beach stops were in San Diego. Now, those beaches are beautiful. 

We went to La Jolla Cove and saw a bunch of filthy seals nursing their babies. Kinda cool, kinda weird. The kids were just jumping over them and playing around them like they didn't even exist. And the seals didn't seem to care at all. Lazy bums.

This is the exact moment that Andy  ruined his brand new iPhone 6: 

We actually went to Coronado Beach after this (I would highly recommend it. The sand is literally flecked with gold) but there are no pictures to prove it. Let's just say that being down one very expensive phone was a bit of a bummer. The parents weren't feeling like making memories.

LA beaches aren't as nice but the kids didn't care one bit. They loved them all.

Mia spent hours digging a hole with her bare hands. Then, a sweet little girl came up and asked if she could help and Mia instantly abandoned the entire project. She's rather walk away then risk someone messing up her stuff. 

 And then there's Bode:

He dug sand out of his ears for an entire week.

And apparently the expiration date on your sunscreen actually matters:

The sunscreen on my face wasn't out of date. The sunscreen on my body was. It wasn't pretty.
