We spent a morning at Pismo Beach with Grandma, Aunt Kellie, and Hannah. It was a short hike from the road down to the sand and shore, but walking through the eucalyptus grove made it all the more memorable. Cindy told us about the butterflies that come and spend the winter in these trees, making the long journey from Canada. It was fun to imagine the branches full with butterflies.
The waves here were gentle, and the shallows stretched out a good distance before the water got very deep. Perfect for little people to play in. At least the little people who aren't nervous about the waves, or in Gabe's case, stingrays.
River loved running up and down the shore. And he loved digging in the sand.
Liam loved running up and down the shore, too, but he mostly wanted to stay away from the water. Those gentle waves are mighty scary...
Pausing a moment for a family photo
minus one kid who wanted nothing to do with a portrait...
The beaches here are so different from what we were used to in San Diego: more for exploring and experiencing than sunbathing. It made for a great morning.
Speaking of mornings, look at the sun coming up and over the hills. Just beautiful.
LOVE the family portrait minus one! So beautiful. These were my favorite batch of pictures yet :-) And plus I've been hankering for a post from you.
