California Trip: the beach

Sunday, August 30th~ We drove about an hour to go to Huntington Beach with the Chases, Henrys, Hickmans (A. Carol, U. Keith, Natasha, & Wyatt), and cousin Pam. It was the perfect way to beat the heat (it was only 80 degrees instead of 100!) and relax after the emotional memorial service the day before. The waves were pretty rough, but once you got past them it felt great to swim in the ocean!
Right away we spotted some dolphins swimming by!

Cohen & Griffin watching the dolphins

Wyatt and his crew of little workers dug a huge hole and made a really cool sand castle.

Natasha and Ronan getting ready to catch some waves. (:

Josh had the camera out in the water and took this picture of us.

So Fun (:
