Making the most out of summer...

On Monday of last week we decided to take a trip down to Corona Del Mar to check out the tide pools. As you can recall in an earlier post, the beach is not a favorite of my two youngest children. This day was no exception. Aaron did not want to be put down the entire time we were there, and Ashley was just happy as a clam in either Adam or my arms. Alec had a BLAST checking out all the sea creatures (mostly crabs) and playing in the waves. He even brought home a small shell collection! Despite the non-excitement from Aaron and Ashley, it turned out to be a wonderful day. We spent the morning hopping from rock to rock finding all kids of neat things. I just need to remember for next time...sunscreen on the parents is a must...not just on the kids...ouch!!

We found a nice couple that were there taking pictures and asked them to take one of us. We feel so blessed to live in a place where we have access to the Pacific Ocean and are able to go and enjoy so much of God's beautiful handy work!!
