Family Get Away-The Beach

Over Easter weekend Jim, Samantha, Alex and I decided to go on a family Road Trip to Southern California.  As gross as that sounds, being in a car with two young kids, it ended up being a very fun family vacation.  We started with a stop over in St. George so we could see my Grandma/pa Hendrickson. Then we continued down to the coast to spend a couple of days at the beautiful beach. We also had the chance to go and spend some time with Jim's grandparents.
Samantha absolutely loved the beach!!  From the very first moment we arrived she wanted to go and build sand castles and just play in the sand. Alex on the other hand cried the first step onto the sand and hated getting sand on his hands and feet.  He slowly warmed up and by the end even enjoyed eating it.
We spent a couple of days going down and playing at the beach- building many castles, flying kites, getting sand in every crevice and cranny and loving the warm sun.  I'm sure the people in CA didn't think it was warm, but we thought it was absolutely wonderful.  I just love the sound, feel and smell of the ocean and love the sound of my kids enjoying themselves.  
Prof that Alex finally warmed up to the Sand. Jim's beautiful sand turtle.
Samantha also grew to love the ocean and liked playing in the waves.
