Beach Fun!

While Grandma Carol and Grandpa John were here, we chose the warmest day to head to the coast. We ate at the Splash Cafe (the best chowder breadbowls on the central coast, maybe anywhere for that matter!), we braved the wind on the beach, walked around, and had a great time! Yes, that first picture is of this very strange looking crab the girls found, kind CREEPY, but hey, everyone in our family loves sea life! We also saw a dead otter, which made the girls very sad :( Perhaps the coolest find though, was that it was low tide, and there were TONS of sand dollars everywhere! They filled a bucket and insisted on taking it home...
so here is their collection, actually pretty impressive, i think...






It was so windy, but lots of fun!





Lunch at Splash!




okay, they were starting to get annoyed at me insisting on pictures!

And as if that weren't enough fun already, we started talking back and forth on the walkie talkies about stopping at Hanford for some Superior Creamery Ice Cream! I didn't take pictures there, but the peach and the chocolate chip are the beeessst!!!!!! A great day, and a great way to get out of the valley heat!
