Our week in Del Mar was great – we got to spend plenty of time on the beach and get some much needed time away from the Arizona heat.
On that beach time, there was a bunch of rain the first few days so there were a bunch of sand dollars washed up on shore. The girls were into collecting the sand dollars and the shells…
The even braved the waves.
Ava was on critter patrol. Ranging from a partial lobster she found on the beach…
To the two kissing snails she found outside the townhouse….
…and the starfish at SeaWorld.
Ava got to spend a day at SeaWorld for her birthday. She made the most of it with the giant sea turtles.
and watching the sea lions.
And of course all of the shows.
We found a good park for the girls to play in.
and even had them entertain us in the backyard‘.
Ali had lots of the fun in the sand…burying herself and friends.
or showing off her sandcastle prowess.
Coincidentally our friends were renting a place a few blocks away. We saw them at the beach, and did an outdoor concert together. The kids all liked the swings.
And we celebrated Ava’s birthday with some cupcakes.
With all the activity during the day, here’s what a typical evening looked like when the kids were finally worn out…
We’re looking forward to going back next year!
