Beach Day

We spent most of yesterday at the beach. It was great to relax and enjoy the sun, sand, and salty air.

When we arrived, Caleb decided that only one type of sand (soft loose sand) was acceptable. He refused to follow us across the road to the packed sand by the ocean, which is where we set up "camp." In order to coax Caleb over to the "bad" sand, Auntie began the process of importing "good" sand to cover "bad" sand.

Caleb is unhappily scoping out the "bad" sand as Auntie packs up a bucket of "good" sand.
Gray loves his big shovel and continuously yelled, "I NEED TO DIG" for the first hour we were there.

Best Friends!
Good beach reads... Sisters think alike.
Nobody is safe from Graysen.
The boys are obsessed with building sand castles. Their first "castle" turned out to be a bunch of beach toys with lots of dirt dumped on top. The boys were very happy once I showed them how to make a better sand castle and worked on it for hours.
After the beach, we headed to Crabby Joe's for dinner. This is one of our favorite places as it sits on top of a pier and you can see the ocean water and surf under your table.

Little did we know that Caleb LOVES "squid." He told us, "I love to eat both the body and the tentacles."
He ate over half a plate of calamari (after a hot dog and two piece of chocolate cake). He thoroughly enjoyed each bite.
