It's been so hot this past weekend due to some crazy heat wave. Today, the girls and I hit the beach and hit it hard. I'm not going to lie, it ain't easy to get out the door with two little girls on a long outing (seriously laughing at how I managed to go to the beach last year! I've got skills!), but it is so worth it! Today was the hottest day I've ever had at the beach! The cold pacific ocean water has never been so enticing! My girls love playing at the beach. Holly always does her best to scout out a friend and she's excellent at it. Her social skills have officially surpassed mine. Haha. Greta likes the beach, however sometimes her emotions get the better of her and she drops flat, as you can see in the photos below. We went to Natural Bridges in Santa Cruz. I was excited to take some B&W film of that beach and it's wonders (ah, the delayed gratification of film is so exciting!). There was a ton of washed up seaweed. Greta spent a decent amount of time exploring in it and collecting these bulb things that are attached to the seaweed (no idea what they're called). And then she spent quite a bit of time playing with them. She even stuck the pointy end of one in my ear. Yup it fits. Thanks for checking Gigi. Baby girl cracks me up! On the way home, we stopped for pink ice cream. Holly couldn't give a darn about the flavor, it's all about the color with that kid. It was a fantastic day! I'm so glad we decided to ditch our hot and super messy apartment for a carefree day at the beach. Major mom points. And yes, full disclosure, we had melt downs when we got home. Whatever. We went to the beach today and it's October! I love California!
