We were itching to go on a hike a couple Saturdays ago. We didn't know where to go, so we looked up the weather. It was currently 70 degrees and sunny at the beach, so we chose to do the hike at Hearst Beach.
It's a nice short hike (perfect for kids), and it's really pretty. I kept falling behind to take pictures.
The end of the hike has a great view of the ocean all around.
I was a bit of a nervous wreck, warning everyone to stay away from the edge.
There was a little path leading to the tide pools down below, and Spencer found an octopus in one. That was a first for him, so it was pretty dang exciting.
Levi didn't want to go down to the tide pools. Then he changed his mind and did want to go down. Then he got scared of the waves and had to come back up. He and I were happy being nervous together.
On the way back we left the path to climb some really fun trees.
Chloe was content the whole time. We debated even going because she had been sick and miserable with a bad cold all week, but she did great. It was so good to have her back to her normal self.
After the hike we hung out on the beach for awhile. The boys went swimming in the little pond next to the ocean (where the water is much warmer) while we relaxed and ate snacks. It got up to 80 degrees!
Chloe's new swimsuit - so cute! She was way too interested in the sand to look up at me.
Yummy sand!
The boys packed shovels and dug this big pool, diverting water from a stream.
The weather was lovely, and everyone had a blast - we ended up staying for hours. It zapped all our energy, though. Nothing is as exhausting as a day at the beach!

I love the pictures of Chloe in the carrier. The contrast of little girl and gigantic carrier is fun. And the pigtails poking out the top. Oh my!
Love the one with her swimsuit and eating sand! So cute!
You guys sure know how to have a good time! And those little pig tails just kill me.
