Sunday night, we set out for CA. What should have taken 3 1/2 to 4 hours took us 6 hours to drive. Ridicules traffic! Once again, we got to our destination around midnight. Luckily, we all got sleep that night. Monday was spent relaxing and some time in the kiddie pool at the condo. Monday night, our friends, the Lukes, arrived. Jameson loves their boys. Our view was of the Disneyland employee parking. Not very exciting for us, but the boys loved watching the cars.

Tuesday we all got up, and headed to the beach. Huntington beach to be exact. It was such a nice day. It wasn’t too hot sitting in the sun on the beach. Jameson didn’t like the water. The waves scared him, along with the noise. Preston and Gavin loved the water, though.

Preston and Jameson were so funny to watch together. They’re both so blond with curly hair, sometimes we mixed up our own kids. Usually this was the case if I caught one out of the corner of my eye, or saw one running around the corner. The boys loved the birds. They chased the birds all over the beach, trying to feed them. They wouldn’t throw the food, though, so the birds had no idea the kids were trying to feed them. Jameson gave up on one bird and went for a closer one. Preston was determined, though, and Jared ending up having to chase him down the beach.

Jameson did come around to the water after a while. He didn’t want to touch it, but he would get closer to it.

Gavin was infatuated with the seaweed. It started out with one strand at first. He was so excited to show us.

Then it became a few more strands.

Jameson and Preston decided it was pretty cool stuff, too. There was a small tug of war, but in the end, J-mo gave up.

The kids loved the beach, but after a few hours we headed back to the condo for naps. We got dinner started, spent some time on the roof in the spa (the boys watched the kids), had dinner, then spent some more time with the kids down in the pools. The kids were whipped out at the end of the night, but Gavin and Preston were so excited to see Mickey’s house the next day. They finally fell asleep, and we all crashed for the night.
