Beach Babes

Before Christmas I was able to spend a day with 2 of my best friends at the beach on an incredibly beauitful day.

The day honestly felt magical.

And the beach was breathtaking.
It made me really miss the summer...I am already counting down the days!

We spent a few days at our friend's beach house in Balboa Island last week.

It was so nice and our friends were so great to let us piggy back on their vacation!

The weather was perfect.

We walked to the beach everyday.

Brandon officially learned how to skim board.

Ayden swam in the ocean.

And Lucas didn't run away.

Oh & I took a nap and left with a tan.

I'd say it was a totally successful vacation!

I was REALLY scared to take Lucas to the beach.

REALLY scared.

He is a runner.

And I feared that he'd either run straight into the ocean's grasp or down the coast and never.stop.

And I am a terrible runner.

So when we decided to go I was secretly shaking in my flip flops.

We set up our lil' spot in a corner of Laguna Beach.

And Lucas sat down and played in the sand,

the entire time.

I was actually able to sit down and relax,

which lately with Lucas hasn't been very often.
 

It was so amazing.

And the boys boogie boarded the entire time.

We are planning a ton of weekly beach trips this summer!
