We went to the beach.

Yes, it's November, but in California that just means it cooled off a tiny bit. Justin's been gone working since yesterday, and this morning I was fed up with the kids fighting and being in the house together. One of the other moms from my running group said she was heading down to the beach in Santa Cruz with her boys, so we decided to join them! Yay spontaneous outings!


 It was probably 57 degrees outside, damp and windy, and the water was FRIGID. Like seriously, I could have successfully iced my legs after a run in this water.

Did that stop the kids?? Heck no...


We all started off fully clothed. Trying for photos. EPIC FAIL.
Also, he really needs a haircut. 



Loves big slippery rocks, scared of birds. Go figure.





This is Ryker, my friend's son. He's 3. Caroline and Ryker hit it off like BFF's.!


Poor Caroline got stung (in her words: "I GOT BURNED MOMMY!!!") by I'm
guessing a yellow jacket that was hiding in the sand. I pulled the stinger out and
her foot swelled up red and nasty for a few hours. Poor thing! 


She got her pants wet in the waves and promptly did this. What can I say, we are classy.

Finally I broke out his bathing suit...





This is what happened when he took a wave in the face :)
Overall it was a great morning!! Super nice to get out and let the kids run around. Loved the foggy beach. A great way to spend a fall day, if I do say so myself :)
