On Monday we went to Monterey for the day with our friend M and her son CM (3 yrs). CM loves the girls. The three of them are so cute together. CK was so great with CM. She holds his hand, making sure he stays with us. It was too cute!
First we went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Always a fun place. Even more fun with friends. M and I had gone with the kids about 2 years ago, but none of them remembered. They loved it. I like the Jellies the best. They are so relaxing. I could just sit in there for hours watching them. The kids loved it all. C was very tired....just getting home from work at 7:30am that morning, but he had a good time.
After stopping for lunch on Canery Row we found the best little beach. Full of shells, sand dollars washing up on shore and sea creatures in the water. What a fun place to explore. Too bad we left the swim suits and towels in the car. (Ooops) The girls didn't care, they just took their pants off. To be 4 and 5 years old again.....ahh....the life.
As always, O was in heaven on the beach running in the cold ocean water. CK was busy collecting sea shells and sand dollars. Mommy joined in. We found some great treasures. (when we got home we cleaned them up and preserved them) CM...well, it took him the entire time to get up enough nerve to go near the water. By the time he started going near the water it was just about time to head for home. Next time we'll go just to the beach. He didn't seem to mind leaving.
We had a nice walk back to the car and O fell asleep on the way home. (no big surprize there) It was a great day. Maybe we can sneak in one more beach day (in Monterey) before the weather turns cold. hmmm
