On the spur of the moment yesterday, we decided to head off to Pismo for a little summer fun. We arrived there at ten and played until two. This particular beach has a tidal pool where we get to touch anemones and pick up hermit crabs. We even saw an eel! We brought sandwhich fixings and ate on the beach.
The water was freezing to me, but as you can see, the kids didn't care. Kelly and her friend Franny played in the water, explored the tidal pools and goofed off. Johnny and Laine had a nice mix of playing in the sand and in the water, and Joe spent almost two hours just body surfing. I enjoyed watching them and soaking in the cooler weather and hearing the sound of the waves. It was very calming and peace restoring to my soul.
On the way back yesterday, we took highway 41 from 101, which was a mistake, because poor Kelly got really car sick on that stretch of road. Next time we will take 46 to 41 and make everyone much happier!
