Russ got to ride with Jane in his Pepsi truck, which is the same one he wanted to ride last year. I'm sure it will probably be his favorite for quite a few years.
I took Janie on this roller coaster that is kind of a medium sized one and she was a little scared but she still liked it. Janie is not exactly a daredevil, haha, she is about the furthest from it. But I think it is good to push her into doing things every so often.
Jerry really wanted to ride the boats so Russy rode with him. It was really cute that they had their arms around each other when they were waiting in line.
They loved ringing the bell and putting their hands in the water.
Anne was so content to just sit with me up in the sand and just play,while Kevy had to go and chase down Russy. But then I got a really dumb idea. I thought i would just let Anne feel the water because every kid needs to experience it. What a dummy I was. She wasn't to content to just feel the water, no she had to keep running full force into the waves and I had to keep running and getting her and then she would throw a massive fit, and then we would start over. Why oh why did I feel the need to have her feel the ocean? I should have waited until next year!! I also was dumb and thought that it would be better if we didn't put the kids into swimming suits because I didn't want to worry about having to change them out of them and deal with that whole fiasco. But that would have been way better then dealing with kids with soaking wet clothes that were covered in sand. Oh well I will remember better next time.
Janie and Nellie were insistent on wearing their swimming suits, but Lizzy was the good girl and did what I wanted (shocker) and stayed in her clothes. I felt kind of bad because I know she would have loved to go swimming but she didn't complain. Jane really should have stayed in her clothes because she didn't really get in at all, she just played in the sand.
Annie loves to get on anyones back who is laying on the ground. She does this quite often.
After the babies got out of their soaking wet and sandy clothes, I didn't have a change with me so they got to chill for the next hour in their diapers, it was awesone!
It had been a really long but very fun couple of days, and right after the beach we had to head home, which was a three and a half hour drive without traffic, but with Bay Area traffic, it was a lot longer! Thankfully my kids have learned how to be pretty good little travelers and keep themselves entertained. Sometimes thinking about doing trip and things like this sounds so overwhelmming with little kids, but it really ends up being worth it, the memories they create are worth all of the pain and inconveniences that they are.
