The last 2 weekends I have driven down to Santa Cruz to pick up the boys. Down and back in one day is quite a long drive for me, so I have been recruiting road trip buddies! Nessa went with me the first weekend and Dera came with me yesterday. I made sure on both weekends to get there with enough time to at least be at the beach for a few minutes! The first weekend with Nessa it was warm with a gorgeous sunset. Yesterday with Dera was cold and rainy but we got to see a total of 3 rainbows, one of which was a double! It feels so good to be at the beach, no matter what the weather is!
Me and Nessa on trip #1 at Natural Bridges:
Getting ready for trip #2. I was so excited that it was cold so I could get the chance to wear my new hat. I am happy to say, it helped keep me nice and toasty!
At West Cliff, my favorite place to watch the waves crash against the rocks. Can you see rainbow #1?
Me and Dera, road trip buddy extraordinaire!
And the final rainbow of the day was a full arc and a double!
Danny playing with his dinner on the drive home.
It was messy but very creative!
On the trip home with Nessa, Danny woke up from a doze, very concerned, because "Mommy, I can't see my own eyes!"
On the trip home with Dera . . .
Me: "Danny are you hitting Austin again?" as I glanced back to see that he was indeed hitting Austin again with the paper toy they had got in their kids meal.
Danny: "No," (a pause with more giggling and hitting) "the paper is!"
