This morning we got up and drove to Santa Cruz, which is only about 40 minutes from our house. The beaches there are so pretty and it was a perfectly sunny day. We ended up getting there at about 10 am, so there were some morning clouds, but they burned off real fast leaving us with sun and blue skies for the rest of the day.
The water was still pretty cold and Braedon was not happy when it hit his feet at first. He kept wanting to go back down to the water and eventually started loving it.
Another thing he loves…throwing sand. Yeah, so not cool. Derek and I would be sitting on our beach towel and all of a sudden we would get a handful of sand down our shirts or in our face.
I brought a bucket, a sand rake and a couple other toys because I thought Braedon would enjoy piling sand in his bucket or making piles with it or something. Nope, he really just enjoyed throwing it and used the toys I brought to do so more effectively. He also didn’t quite get the concept of trying not to get sand on the blanket.
Next time I’m bringing a chair and putting it about 50 feet from Braedon.
After spending a couple of hours at the beach we decided to check out the Santa Cruz boardwalk. Very fun. Filled with rides, fair food and games, and little shops. We spent a couple of hours walking around and exploring until we decided to head home. Braedon crashed in his car seat about 30 seconds after we left. When we got home I put him right in the bath to clean out the pound of sand in his diaper.
We all had a fun day at the beach and I can see myself bringing Braedon back multiple times this summer to hang out and play!
