Baby Toes in the Pacific

Looking back on more of our trip out west . . .

After our morning in the giant redwoods and a nap at the rental house, we ventured the two blocks down to the beach.  Santa Cruz is right on the Pacific.

Me and my beach babe


Getting ready to test the water

The water was COLD!  But Elliott did great.  I whined more than he did!

 

 

Okay, Mama, I'm done now.

One ocean down, four to go

We went for a long walk down the beach to these pretty cliffs.  Elliott did great in the carrier for an extended time.

Our family of three!

Cool cousin Ned

Jess and Elliott

Testing the sand

He likes it!

And the hands go straight in to his mouth.  It was inevitable.

Woah! Fingers.

Happy boy

Both boys were sandy and took showers.  They were so cute crawling/running around in their diapers.  I scooped up the cuteness and captured the snuggles with this shot.

Still more CA pics to come!
