Beach Day NOT a Bust

Okay, so we have been having some seriously nice weather for spring break. I packed up the kiddos and headed to Redondo beach to check out the pier...it was LAME...and awesome at the same time:

The Lame Stuff vs The Awesome Stuff

#1. The pier was the most pathetic pier I had ever been to...no good shops, rides or restaurants!!

While on the pier, we saw some amazing waves travel under us!!


#2. Because there were no good places to eat on the pier, we had to drive around and find somewhere to have lunch before playing at the beach.

We ended up eating at a "healthy" pizza place that had face painting and pizza dough to play with..oh and yummy pizza too:)


#3. Redondo beach had the lamest, rockiest sand that actually hurt to kneel in:(

We ended up digging a hole and burying Tyson! We also found some cool rocks and shells.


#4. Jordan ended up stepping on a bee at the playground beside the beach--ouch!

Kya and Tyson had the most fun ever spinning until even I was dizzy just from watching them.


#5. The weather turned out to be warmer and sunnier than I expected, BUT I forgot sunscreen...I got a little sunburned.

The weather was beautiful and we got to lay in the sun and soak it all in!!!


#6. We left the beach hot and hungry.

We stopped at McDonald's on the way home for ice cream sundaes:)

Even though everything didn't go as planned...I say it was a pretty AWESOME day.
