Surprise! Beach Pictures from May

Well, looking back on our blog posts, we realized that we never posted about going to the beach when we went to California for our Disneyland trip. The beach was really nice. The temp was about 80 degrees, and the water was pretty brisk, but not too bad. It was just cold enough to keep the locals away. For most of the day we all but had the beach to ourselves. Madolyn loved playing in the waves and in the sand. Avery didn't like it quite as much cause she kept getting sand in her face and in her eyes. I guess that's what happens when all you do is lay on a blanket. We were definitely the whitest people on the beach that day since this was our first swimsuit adventure of the year. We also noticed that all the California girls wear bikini's regardless of age or size. Reminds us of the saying, "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should." Yikes.

Madolyn has to put her sunglasses on by herself and usually pins her hair down with them. She is quite trendy in them.

This is our double dip picture. This is about the extent of Avery getting in the water. It was too cold for her to even like kicking her legs in it.

This is one of our favorite pictures. Kristin timed taking it just right, unbeknownst to us. Madolyn's little wedgie is so funny.

We would wait in the water until the waves would come and I'd throw her in the air to miss them. She loved it!

Madolyn really loved digging in the sand. We thought it was funny how she would practically do the splits reaching for the wet sand instead of moving her bucket closer. She would dig and dig until her bucket was full and then pour it out and start over.

This is one of the funniest pictures of Avery. Both of our girls completely crashed once we got in the car.

I crashed too once we got to the hotel. Had to restore my energy reserves so we could head back to Disneyland that evening.
