Boogie Boarding

We have spent a majority of our summer at our local beach, but today we decided to be adventurous. We decided to pack up the car with all sorts of toys and goodies and head up PCH to see what we could find. We ended up north of Malibu at a small little local beach where the kids tried out their boogie boards for the first time on real waves. I wasn't surprised that Allison enjoyed it more than Andrew. Paul took them out individually for a little lesson. Andrew went first and didn't last that long. He was afraid Paul would let go of him when he was riding the waves. Once it was Allison's turned she loved it! Ashley and I enjoyed our time sunbathing and digging in the sand. It was a special day, we had no plans, no destination and no time schedule. It was almost like a mini vacation in one day. We ended our spontaneous day with a trip to a random hoe in the wall Mexican restaurant in an interesting part of town, that turned out to be amazing. Of course we couldn't end the night after dinner, so we drove to the Redondo Beach pier for some Bubble gum ice cream. It would be an understatement if I said that I love summer.
