Huntington Beach, CA: Escaping The Cold

This year Kiewit's Annual Meeting (the company Joel works for) was held in Huntington Beach, CA. The weather was wonderful! Reminded us of how nice living in California was for us; (and...I have to add, Joel did not like the traffic, neither did I...But I love everything else!)

Anna could not wait to get in the water, it was kind of cold, but a few minutes later you forget it, and just enjoy the warm sun, and the blue ocean.

Anthony was impressed by the amount of water, he was just jumping and screaming "Agua, agua, agua!".

Anna was running away from the waves, but there was a little pile of sand, where other kids had built a "scuplture" like they called it, and Anna tripped in it and got all wet.

Then she did not mind all the sand getting in her behind!

Anthony and I decided to walk around the beach and try to find some cool shells.

We finally found a nice one, but it was still alive....that was until Anthony tasted it! After that, there was not much I could have done, not to save the animal or the shell.
Anna ran and ran and ran...After all it is in her blood, her mom is a Costena...(a person from the coast.)

Anna found something else, a living clam, and this nice gentleman explained to Anna how these creatures live, habitat, food, etc. Too bad those seagulls were around....

We were able to stop Anna before she went into the fountain, she thought it was the pool so she ran to it.
Back at the hotel room, we were tired. Daddy babysitted Anthony while the girls went out to check the place out.

Yep, he is a good little monkey....

And did some modeling as well, why not?
