Beach time!

We have been doing a lot of beach time here.  Mostly on Fridays, after school - so that way I don't have to worry about getting the boys fed, bathed, and ready for school the next day.

Graham and Charlie LOVE the sand!

The pier at Manhattan Beach:

Interesting shells (?) on the pillars of the pier:

We had to take a photo with the Life Guard's truck :-)

The boys actually wanted to take a photo on this signage.  MB for Manhattan Beach.  Too cute!

And on another occasion, we are scoping out what we now call "Crepe Street" beach.  Well, our favorite crepe restaurant is not far from this beach and somehow, it stuck - or at least it's the easiest way to tell Bobby where we are!

Big and aggressive waves!

Graham did actually go into the water and was taken down a couple times by the waves. He is definitely keeping a good eye on it!

Charlie is struggling with the seaweeds littered on the sand and also in the ocean.  It's funny how they "pop" when you step on the ones that are filled with water:

Charlie is definitely keeping his distance away from the seaweed! :-D

We have spotted some dolphins at this beach.  So cool!!!

Selfie time!  Graham did this selfie all by himself:

And Charlie did this selfie of himself. Ha ha!

Did I also mention that there is a gelato place along the same street as the crepe?  Well, that has also been one of our favorite stops:

Both Graham and Charlie are definitely living life to its fullest in California!
