This past week Megster's family was in town for a mini family reunion. It was so much fun to have them here to explore and play. First stop in California was in Morro Bay.
Christine braved picking up a pretty large crab on an early morning walk from the house down to the beach below the Natural History museum. We had to go early in the day because if you wait until after breakfast the tide in the bay has come in to cover up the beach!
Here is just a quick video clip of Ethan backing into the water. He was told that he could not get his feet wet. However, you can see from the expression on his face that there was water getting between his toes. What a cute kid!
Everyone hiked to the top of Bishop's Peak in San Luis Obispo the following day. The weather was much warmer inland just a few miles. The hike was only a few miles each way, but pretty steep at several points. It was an extra challenge for Meg and I as she was carrying Ethan and I carried Ellie most of the way. I had her on my shoulders so her feet got my shirt dirty, hence the dark spot right over my chest.
After the long hike we hit a local frozen yogurt place called Bali's. You mix and match any flavors and toppings and pay by weight. A well deserved and yummy treat.
Almost everyone took some time to go kayaking in the bay on the last full day in Morro Bay. Here you can see that Ellie is doing a little relaxing while grandpa Christensen does all the hard work.
The final full day of the California trip was spent in Dana Point at the Salt Creek Beach Park. Followers of the blog will know that this is where the 2010 So Cal Ragnar Relay ended. We went back for a more relaxed visit and had a great time playing in the big surf.
To finish off the post... a great picture of Papa Christensen and Ethan having a stroll on the beach. A fantastic visit that went by far too fast!
