Labor Day

This year for Labor Day we spent a good share of the day just catching up with life and trying to finish getting settled into our apartment here in California. We finally got all the pictures up and finished putting everything away. It is nice to be rid of all the boxes! :) We also took part of the day to go to the Ocean. We had fun building a sand castle with a mote and letting the cold waves run over our feet. It is so relaxing to just sit and listen to the waves crash. Brooklyn enjoyed it too and she pretty much just slept the whole time in her car seat! It was a little colder than normal because it rained a little (you can see the gray skies). But even still it wasn't bad and we enjoyed our trip to the beach. It is so nice to live so close to the ocean that we can have fun at the beach AND get some work done.. all in one day! I have a feeling our car is going to constantly have sand in it with as many trips as we may be taking to the beach. :)

He had fun playing with this little stick he found. 

Gray sand and gray skies

Beautiful waves

Gorgeous cliffs and palm trees
