Redondo Beach with Yaya and Uncle Jake

5 July 2014

The morning after the 4th, we drove down to Redondo Beach to pick up Lisa and Jake from their mansion of a beach house vacation with the Hudson clan (Jake's mom's parents' 50th anniversary celebration). We soaked up a few minutes of the good life and then headed down to the beach to spend the day. Sadly, Jake had endured a 2nd degree sunburn across his shoulders - so no water/sun for him. But he hung out under the shade of our umbrella while the rest of us played with the kids and enjoyed what we could of the warm sand and huge waves. I am reminded every time we go how blessed we are to live so close...and how strange it is that my kids will grow up on the beach.

Chasing birds...

This shot makes me laugh, looks like the bird is on Will.

This girl gets some serious air, and look at her form! 

Flashing who knows what gang signs.

It was a busy day.

Can we say tuckered out?

We forgot our bag of sand toys, but thankfully Auntie Yaya came to the rescue with her empty water bottle.

Will was very amused.

Checking out his beautiful wifey.

War paint.

Could she be any more beautiful?
