Missing the Beach

I was laying by Ryan for a minute tonight--listening to a cd of waves that we have, and Ryan asked if we could go to the beach again. I told him it was too far away now, and he said "NO?!!" After explaining it to him, it seemed like he might have understood a little when he sat up and spread his arms out as wide as they would go and told me it was really far away, like that far away (referring to how far his arms were spread.) We all miss the beach. :( Here are a few pictures from our last trip to the beach--the Saturday before we moved. I didn't ever post them will all the pre-move hustle and bustle. I feel like we were able to go a lot, but why on earth didn't we go EVERYDAY!!!!!


Ryan really wanted to see the "whale bones" before we left. These are the bones of a 87 foot female blue whale that washed ashore there the year I was born! Pretty spectacular.

The next two pictures are of some grey whale bones. Still spectacular, but you can see they are a little smaller.


There were several pools of dolphins behind this fence. They were feeding them while we were sneaking a peak.

Nicole and Isaac's sea monster (Daddy helped too)


This sea lion came up on the beach where we were all playing to scratch it's back?!!


Isaac and Ryan playing catch with Dad


Our friend the sand crab--one of the kids favorite things to do at the beach was dig for sand crabs and try to fill a bucket with as many as they could find.

Shovel rides






Hopefully it won't be TOOOO long before we get to go again . . .

How have I never been to the beach with whale bones? Where is it? You guys really know how to make the most of your beach trips. Even Will had to agree that you guys make the beach look fun--he does NOT like the beach. Cute post!
