Cali's dad has a family beach house in Santa Cruz that was available for the weekend. So we headed out for a short trip Friday and Saturday, just mommies and kiddos. The babies are both on the same napping schedule, and we travel on their time. When they start getting fussy, we just pull over to a park and take a little break. They have become excellent travelers. Madeline had a teething problem, but both babies were in very good spirits.
We had a very leisurely day and a half, which included playing in the sand at the beach, a couple park trips and strolling around the fun little town of Capitola. Of course, we had a great seafood meal too.
The most fun was seeing Madeline play in the water. She absolutely loved the waves! If I wasn't holding her back when they came rolling in, I am convinced she would have just run right into them! She was in her little pink petticoat the first afternoon that we were out there, and she threw herself into the water and rolled around in the wet sand. We were all laughing, even Landon! Needless to say both babies had to do a lot of bathing on that trip.
Our husbands planned an overnight camping trip and ended up having one amazingly strange story of their own, which resulted in them having to cut their trip short. If you'd like to read about that story I've attached the link as to what they found out in the back country.
