After our busy and late day Monday at Disneyland we needed a rest day. It was also election day and Aunt Jill needed to chill out!
A picnic at the beach was just what we all needed!
We walked down the pier and saw pelicans, fishermen and surfers.
It was a bit foggy/cloudy but while we walked that all burned away.
End of the pier portrait time!
The Byrne Family meets the Pacific Ocean!
The scenery was awesome and Mummy had a lot of fun taking pictures :)
Then it was picnic time. We went down to the beach and Cara kicked off her sandals and started doing these "sand angels"! She loves the beach!
Gwen's toes in the Pacific.
Daddy and the Pacific.

Gwen liked the waves!
Cara being a seagull.
Gwen got her dress all wet so she ran around in her shorts.
She just had to try out the slide at the playground.
They were covered in sand.
Literally.
And loving it!
The girls with Aunt Jill!
Building a volcano with Daddy.
Cara brought the lava.

The beach house in Top Gun! Tom Cruise was there (a long time ago)!
It was a really great afternoon at the beach!
Daddy's favourite road sign - Spin Around Clockwise 20 times!
Wow! The Pacific shots are fabulous! The girls took to the beach really well! And I see a couple of scenic shots I may use as a model for acrylic painting! Thanks. I think Daddy is just fooling about turning around clockwise 20 times. :)
