We spent yesterday at Twin Lakes Beach in Santa Cruz with 2 of our family friends, the Grays and the Moomeys. I made everyone a beach mix CD for the 2 hour ride to help us get excited for the beach. Driving over, I was a bit worried because it was overcast in Fremont and San Jose, but Justin assured me that if it was cloudy inland, it would be sunny on the coast. He was right (don't tell him I admitted that!) and we had a beautiful sun filled day at the beach. We've even got the sunburns to prove it! As soon as we got settled, a pod of dolphins swam by really close to the shore. 
Parker was in the water immediately and Spencer didn't seem to mind it either. 
Parker and Derick dug a big pit that they could hang out in.
My crazy husband swam clear out to the dingy.
Parker got into a sand fight with Derick and his dad, James.
Here are the results of the battle.
After a while in the water, Spencer was happy eating his lollie with Izzy and playing in the warm sand.
I got some girl time in the waves with Emma and Trisha. Despite my best efforts to cover up, I still got a little red. I wore Justin's goofy hat and was referred to as "Gilligan" all day long.
It was a beautiful day and the second year in a row that we've done this with the Gray's and Moomey's. I hope that this will be a tradition for us every year!
