Beach Day-Corona Del Mar

One of our favorite parts of our vacation was going to the beach. We went to the best beach, Corona Del Mar near Newport. It was so pretty, so clean and so much fun! We spent all day Monday and half a day on Friday there. I want to live there. :)

Jack loved the dirt, not the water. He was a little nervous around the waves. But he sure was a digger!

On Monday we were there during low tide and Aiden loved exploring the tide pools. We found a bunch of hermit crabs, and regular crabs. There were also seals near our beach, we could hear them barking and watch them swim so that was cool.

Here is Aiden after a roll in the sand. He would roll around get sandy and then run back into the ocean. He really loved it.

Watch out, here comes a wave!

Like I said....a digger.

Here is my beach babe running in the water. She loved to run away from the waves that came up onto the beach. She is such a cutie.

Never turn your back to the ocean. I freezing little wave hit just as Russell was snapping the picture. I really thought the water would be colder, but it was just great, once you got used to it.

We rented boogie boards and learned how to catch wave. It was so much fun. I really think I could have been a Southern California beach girl.

Here I am riding a wave into shore. Russell had to help me because I couldn't see when to catch the wave without my glasses or contacts. It might be time for lasik. I'd be all ready and he would say,"Now!" and I would lay and my stomach and go. We made a great team. :)
