One of our favorite things to do when we visit my parents is to drive to Carmel and Monterey and go to the beach. It only takes 40 minutes to get there!!! Usually we visit in the summer time and make time to visit the Aquarium and get ice cream at Ghirardelli. We didn't make it there this time. We literally could have spent more time at the beach. We ended up going on the warmest day of the week, which was nice. We were all able to take off our jackets because of how warm it was. The sun felt SO GOOD. The kids had a blast playing in the sand.
When we first got to the beach the boys just got right into the sand and starting playing. Emma was a little unsure at first and so Mike picked her up and started walking towards the water. It was so tender and sweet to see them together. The camera crew at CBS also thought so. They asked if they could film Mike and Emma. Of course we said yes. They also filmed Peter drawing in the sand.
As we walked further down the beach Mike and Andrew found this algae like rope. We decided it would make a perfect jump rope. And yes we all tried it, even Grandma!
My parents are the best grandparents ever. They love our kids so much and cherish every moment they have with them. My dad was being so sweet with Abby that I just had to take their picture. Everyone had their turn getting loves from sweet Abby.
