vacation update

Let's see - Sunday we went down to Balboa Peninsula to the beach. Grandpa informed us that on Sunday parking was free and to our amazement at the end of the day we had a $47 ticket on the window. That was the most expensive thing that we have done so far.
On Monday we did something, I can't remember. In the morning I took the kids to Little Corona while Jason was sleeping. I can't recall because we didn't do anything until 5:00 that night and then we decided to get up off our tuffs and go to Balboa Island to buy t-shirts and all the shops were closed so we went to Fashion Island. FI is a big outdoor mall. The kids went nuts for the Carousel and the water fountains everywhere.
Tuesday we went to Crystal Cove State Beach. We didn't swim because it was really cold, but we walked along the beach and found alot of sea life. Emmie got the hebegebies from a sand crab.
Emmie was a crab herself, she was so tired. Grandpa had to carry her and then he was a crab after that. Jason was in the baby pack or I would have. When we got back to the car Grandpa was sweating and complaining how hard it was to carry a sweet little girl. Thanks Grandpa. Kjell had to give Will a piggy back ride. Kjell didn't complain. Thanks Kjell. When we got back to the hotel Emmie had a really good nap. When she woke up Me, Grandma, Will, and Emmie went back to the t-shirt shop. Jason had a nap with Grandpa, Kjell, Jake, and Mike. Sleepy heads - they are asleep now. Then I took the kids swimming at the hotel and Grandma talk her ear off. She met a lady that she had nothing in common with and they both talked none stop. It was great. Grandma feed and held Jason and still got to do what she does best and had fun. After that the kids went to bed early and Grandpa and Grandma went on a date to Ruby's Dinner.
On Wednesday we went to Huntington Beach and stayed all day. Kjell and his friends tried to surf. They tried - they caught about three waves. Grandpa digged a bid hole (taller than him) that the kids climbed in and out a million times. They had sand everywhere - even where the sun doesn't shine. They got sunburned. I didn't get sunscreen on them very good. I learned by lesson.
Today is Thursday. I don't know what we are going to do. Grandpa could watch TV all day and Kjell and Mike could sleep all day. My mom was glad that I cam so that I would make them do something. I am just a ball of fun!
