Tidepoolers!

Beautiful boy, beautiful view...

The Beast did not want to participate in the family photo op!

The water was cold, but I went in anyways!

Wave jumper!

We were looking for baby sand crabs!

We found one!

She was the only one brave enough to pick it up!

I got soaked by a big wave.  The ladies were happy about that...  :)

Happy little beach hopper!

Danni and I seem to be getting over our aversion to sand... we actually enjoyed this trip to the beach!!  We explored the tide pools in Crystal Cove.  We found all kinds of snails, sand crabs, and shells.  I had a blast splashing around in the water (until a wave knocked me over!)  Our only complaint is that the beach is way too far from our house!!!
