Visit With Family in Malibu and 1st Time at the Beach

The morning started out with Nana holding her newest granddaughter. And then off we went up to Malibu to visit our Aunt Pat, Uncle Clay, and cousins Sean and Rachel. We haven't seen them since November 2006 so it was definitely a nice visit and time to catch up.

After lunch, Aunt Pat and Uncle Clay took the girls outside to pick oranges from their tree (and after that, they have wanted to pick oranges from everyone's tree - even people we don't know)

After leaving Malibu, we were going to go to the beach up there but the girls were so tired so we had them take a nap in the car while we drove back towards Harbor City. We took them down to Manhattan Beach area and for the first time, they got to sink their feet into the sand and feel the cold ocean - which they LOVED!! They had so much fun falling into the ocean that they rode back to Nana and Papa's house with just underwear and their shirt since their pants were soaked and full of wet sand. The one thing I DON'T miss about the beach!!


Once we got home from the beach, the girls played dress up as Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty - still not knowing they would see the princesses in a couple of days.
