California Thursday

Eve really liked Dawn and Gabe’s dogs. Here she had followed Lucy outside.

Eve is demonstrating how Shamu jumps. Shamu looks bigger than he is because of the camera angle.

Oceanside Wednesday

We spent most of the day at the beach. We found many sand dollars, seashells, and hermit crabs.

Our friends had to leave to head back to AZ.

They were digging a hole to the center of the Earth. It was deep enough to fit Eve up to her armpits. We had to fill in the hole because Eve kept wanting to get in it.

Eve became a pretty good bubble blower.

Ellie was practicing writing while at the beach. She wrote a message to Oma and Opa and spelled red.

Nate, Eve, and I strolled down the beach to the jetty. Paul and Ellie were on a seashell search.

The tide was pretty low so we could see all the creatures that live along the jetty. Hermit crab, anemone, crabs, starfish (one orange and one red), and a bigger crab.

Paul couldn’t find his sunglasses so he borrowed mine. Isn’t he pretty?
