Since we came home from Havasu on Friday, it has been perfect beach weather in Ventura! We have some friends from the Long Beach area who are renting a beach house in Ventura for two weeks, so we went to the beach with them last Saturday and again on Monday! Shane loves to use the boogie board to ride the waves! Poor Faith, who was still recovering from swimmer's ear, was not able to get her head wet. At least we live close so she can swim the next time!
Saturday was the first time that Olivia went to the beach other than being there for a walk. She had a great time, and of course learned the hard way that sand is not very tasty!
The kids enjoy swimming in the ocean, playing in the sand, and looking for sea anemones when we are by a jetty!
After going to the beach by where the friends' rental house was on Saturday, we took them to our Monday beach spot that we go to with some of our local friends! Steve is holding Olivia in the water here! She loved it!!
Shane discovered sand crabs on Monday at the beach! He called them his pretend pets! I told him that was a great name and he could play with them as much as he wanted, as long none of them came home with us!! He kept them all in the yellow bucket he is carrying.
Up close and personal with a sand crab!
Not all the kids who were there on Monday are in this picture, but quite a few are! Even though the sand in the car post-beach drives me crazy, it is so much fun to take the kids to the beach!
