We spent Thursday down in San Diego. Jen and Hayden were planning to head down to Ocean Beach to visit some family and they invited us along. And, since Erin was in Vegas anyway, we offered to bring Sophia along too. So I picked up all 3 little ladies from their sleepover at Erin's and headed us over to Jen's. Then we packed up and hit the road. The girls got to watch movies during the drive, which they all enjoyed and it seemed to make the time pass more quickly too. Unfortunately the weather didn't exactly cooperate and it never really warmed up. We still had a lot of fun watching the kids playing in the water and Hayden's older cousins were great too. Ashley turned all of the little girls into sand mermaids and helped them dig holes and build castles. I love the sound of the waves crashing and the smell of the salty air but, after running in the waves a bit, the girls were all shivering and we decided to head back to John and Car0lAnn's to have a picnic in their courtyard. Compared to our usual day trips to the beach, it was so nice to have a bathtub available so I could bathe the girls and wash all the sand out of their gorgeous tresses. It ended up still being a very nice afternoon. The girls played with Hayden's cousins and her Uncle John and cajoled him into giving them piggyback rides and building them castles/ cat houses/ traps, depending on the current game. By the end of the day, all 3 little ones told us that they were not tired as we piled back into the car... within 15 minutes they were all sound asleep, and stayed that way for the entire ride. It was a great day.
