Zoo and Beach



Saturday afternoon the kids and I were in search of something to do as Steve was at work.  Faith suggested the zoo since it had been such a long time since we had been there!  So, after Olivia's nap we quickly packed up and headed up to Santa Barbara!  We had a great time seeing the animals and just walking around the zoo!  We were even able to see some baby foxes, which were just adorable!  It was a great outing!

Today's activities included the beach!  Upon driving home from Trader Joe's, a friend of mine texted that her family was heading to the beach for a few hours and they would love for us to join them!  We didn't have other plans, so out we went!  Thankfully, Steve stayed home with Olivia so it was a much easier trip for the rest of us!  What a great guy!

Almost all the kids!  While they played in the sand a bit, Faith and Shane mostly used the boogie boards in the water and were riding the waves!  I was actually quite surprised how much time they spent in the water!  And Shane, who in previous years had not been a big fan of ocean swimming, did really well.  They had blast!

Faith, Shane, and Rose were the boogie boarders who spent most of the time in the water!  We hope to make this a Monday morning tradition since we are SO CLOSE to the beach!!
