Day 2 -Beach Day

Today we went to Coronado Beach.  I think Coronado is my favorite place in San Diego.  It's so beautiful there and the beaches are clean with lots of soft sand.  The weather was perfect...in the high 70s...and even the water was tolerable.

As Brayden and I had planned, we built a sandcastle.  At least we tried.  Every time we built a tower, he would step on it.  But it was fun anyway.

Drew came to join us after awhile.  We went to the water to get a bucket full and a wave knocked him down.  After that, he wouldn't have anything to do with the water.

(OK, so this was Jason's castle with the boys.  Mine kept getting stepped on)

Of course, I can't leave out Zach, who was big enough to build his own sand castles.

Brayden and I also took a walk and we wrote his name in the sand.

It's kind of fun having little ones around, especially when your own are too big/cool to build sand castles with mom.

Ethan and Jason played a little catch with the football.

Nikki liked boogie boarding and just playing in the water.

I was able to get the cutest photo of Nikki and Stan.

And of course, the reason we are here.  To celebrate Papa and Nana's 60th wedding anniversary:

After the beach, the little ones headed home for a shower and a nap, while we went for some ice cream.  

Fun was had by all and we were all exhausted and a little pink after being in the sun all day, but it was worth it.
