Vacation Beach Visits

California has the beach, and so I have here some pictures of the girls enjoying the beach.

Arionna and Kaylee Watching the Surf

Unlike most of the beaches in Florida, which the girls are used to, the beaches in CA are more rocky. The condo overlooked this particular spot and it was a nice walk down.

Perhaps one of the most memorable moments was our resident 'expert' (Kaylee) trying to teach the girls to boogie board.  The wave came rolling in and Kaylee showed them how to jump just ahead of the wave to "catch it".

Arionna Abandoning the Elder Sister to the Surf

Now, our resident 'expert' (who never surfed before) happened to have the wave roll back on her just enough for Kaylee to throw her timing off.  Instead of hitting the front of the wave, she belly flopped onto the now receding water, pushing the board and herself into the sand.  This, of course, meant the following wave, which was just behind the first one, rolled over top of her covering her in water, seaweed, and sand.

Only complaint about the beaches in CA is the lack of "swimming" areas.  Unlike FL, the rocks and quickly receding shelf means only good, strong swimmers should attempt it.  Still, we had a wonderful time.
