Huntington Beach |
On our first full day in Huntington (Thursday June 6th) we went with 5 other families to the beach. Early in the day the weather was overcast and gloomy and I was nervous that the beach would be miserable but it ended up being perfect. The weather was comfortable and the beach was beautiful. Eventually in the early afternoon the sun came out and warmed us up! The kids didn't care that the water was just a few degrees above ice cubes.

Olivia had so much fun collecting sea shells with Arianna! They searched forever for some some but they came up empty! There was not very many shells on the beach.

Eventually one of the families rented a few boogie boards for the kids to use in the water. They all had so much fun for HOURS playing in the Pacific and catching some "waves".

Spencer, he was freezing! |

Eventually Dan thought he would get down in the water with the kids, but then he discovered that the kids were NUTS! That water is FREEZING! |

Olivia thought the water was cold and she was hoping that I would get in with her but I just couldn't bring myself to completely submerge myself! Thankfully she was happy to frolic in the sand.
Ryleigh really was with us! She took off with Arianna (her new favorite person apparently...) and they went for a walk down the beach and were gone for HOURS!

After a very long day at the beach we were STARVING! We had originally planned to go back to the house and make dinner but we were all exhausted so we opted to eat out. We had tried to go to a couple of seafood restaurants down by the water but they all closed at 9:00 pm (ya, I said it was a LONG day at the beach!) finally we were getting desperate so we found this Italian restaurant in town called Cucina Alessá that was still open. It.Was.Amazing! Every bite was heavenly! The kids loved it too! By the end of the night we were officially exhausted and well fed and thoroughly enjoyed our first day in Huntington Beach!
