Tuesday we went to the beach. We weren't sure where to go so we drove up Pacific Coast Highway to see if we could find a good spot. We ended up north of Huntington Beach. I discovered I am not a fan of sand. It was everywhere and in everything. It was worth it because the kids had a blast.
Briauna did not like sand at all. By the end of the day she was doing better but I won't go so far as to say she liked it.
I love seeing John with his girls.
Caleb and Jenna played the whole day together. It was fun to see them enjoy each other and just have fun.
Jenna loved the beach.
Garrett and Lance spent their whole day with the boogie board. They made me nervous how far our they would go to catch a wave.
Lance thought it would be fun to help Jenna ride the waves.
Caleb couldn't be left out so John helped him.
Briauna loved the water.
After the beach we headed to Long Beach to go on a harbor cruise. This is a picture of some of the ports we saw on our way.
We are waiting for the boat to leave port.
This is a working lighthouse and they made a park around it.
The Queen Mary was in the same port we left from. It was huge.
Some sleepy seals
This is an oil island. There are five in this area. Something we learned is that when they discovered oil under Long Beach the started pumping it out but Long Beach sank 29ft so they came up with a system to pump water into the space that they pump the oil out from so it wouldn't sink anymore. They still use this technique today.
The kids enjoyed the ride but were getting tired.
Briauna was so busy I took her down in the boat to try and contain her.
After the harbor cruise we headed to the Los Angeles temple.
