Our day at the beach ...
We spent the day after the wedding relaxing in the hotel for most of the day. In the afternoon, we decided to head out to the beach. We're not really sure which beach it was, but there was sand and there was water. We think it was somewhere near Huntington Beach. It was really nice, but sort of chilly too.
Grace and Ethan marked their territory. Ethan found a stick on the beach and became abnormally attached to it. It's sort of a kid thing. It's amazing how attached kids can become to inanimate objects, especially ones as random as a stick on the beach. Anyway, here's the proof they were there.
Grace was obsessed with the water. She has absolutely no fear. She would run towards the water and would have kept on running if we didn't keep chasing her down. She loved standing on the beach as the water came in. Ethan was quite the opposite. Anytime the water got anywhere near him, he'd turn and run. So if you're scoring at home, sticks = good, ocean water = bad.

There were a bunch of surfers out a few hundred yards, and I managed to catch a picture of one of the few guys that actually caught a wave. Jessica cropped and zoomed the heck out of this after the fact, but it's still impressive that I snapped the picture right when the guy was making his big move. Right? Right? Work with me people.
Ethan found a seashell. Notice the safe distance from the water.
