Huntington Beach

Ahh, Huntington Beach. This was the first day of our trip and we went to the beach to hang out with my sister and her husband, and to kill some time but it ended up being one of the most fun parts of our trip. Holden loved the sand and the ocean, but I think he really wanted to see some crabs and a shark or two. Claire loved the sand, (she even loved eating the sand,) but she hated the water. It was a little chilly at first, but once you got in it really wasn't too bad.



Holden got away from us a few times, but thankfully he was so scared of the water we weren't too worried.



Then I decided to break Holden of his fear of the ocean. We ran out into the water until it was up to my chest and then we would jump over the waves. By the end Holden was loving it and he was way sad when it was time to leave.



Beautiful Claire enjoying the sun... and sand.






This was Holden's favorite activity. The kid just loves to dig.



The pier at Huntington beach. It such a beautiful place, and I think we chose a REALLY beautiful time to go.



Claire's first dip in the ocean with Aunt Hannah.



She didn't love it, but we all thought it was hilarious.



Then we thought it would be a fun idea to bury Holden up to his neck almost in sand. He was all for it.



Then the tide came in. Don't worry no drownings to speak of, he escaped just in the nick of time.
