Hiddy-Up
Abby loves horsey rides. Dad is kindly providing Mom a little yard work time without a 2-year-old climbing on her to demand a horsey ride. |

Beach Day!
Saturday afternoon and low tide happily coincided, so we headed to Crystal Cove State Park to enjoy the waves and chek out the tidal pools. |
|
|
|
Hello seaweed!
Eloise enjoyed finding long strands of seaweed. |

|
|
Dancing in the waves.
Eloise loved the freedom to run all over in the waves without getting knocked over. |
