Onto the next phase of our Callifornia trip...
We got up Saturday morning, checked out of our hotel, and drove down to Huntington Beach where Tori and Tim live. We pretty much headed straight back out the door to a visit to Balboa Island (which is near Newport Beach). You take this little ferry across the harbor get their and it was so cute and fun!
Coming up to Balboa Island... really a fun little place with rides, shops, restaurants, and beaches!
We took a little walk down the pier (there are lots of piers in California!!) and then to the playground on the beach. What a great idea to put a playground on the sand, Hadley was in heaven!
After Balboa Island we went to lunch at the Crab Cooker (also on The O.C., haha!). The food was pricey and Tori doesn't like seafood so only the boys ate :) Hadley was exhausted and had a small fever so she fell asleep on my chest during lunch. Afterwards we headed home for naps.
After waking up (she was completely fine after a good 2 1/2 hour sleep!) we went back out to dinner at Ruby's Diner on the Huntington Beach pier. Great hamburgers and amazing shakes!!
Afterwards we walked around the streets across from the beach and we came upon somes bands and then music. The girls got really into dancing around the streets and chasing each other around. I think Hadley was thinking, "Wow, this is great. My mom never lets me play in the street at home!"
Sunday we went the beach a couple miles from Tori and Tim's house (forget my camera in the car). We had kind of a bad experience between Hadley and I so we didn't stay as long as we had planned. Hadley enjoyed more digging in the sand, but is surprisingly deathly afraid of the ocean! I guess she has gained some new fears since our trip last year!
Then we went to some tide pools, sadly the tide was in, at a different beach a little farther from their house later that afternoon.
This could seriously be a postcard, so gorgeous!!
This is her first time touching the water the entire trip!! Finally!!
So cute... Mylin has no fear of the water! Maybe if Hadley only lived minutes away...
She was so impressed with herself getting this deep in the water!!
Such a fun two days with great company and a great place to stay!
