Sara came to town

Mom and I took the kids to the Long Beach Airport to pick up Sara. We haven't been to the beach in a long time and I thought the kids would really enjoy it. Jesús wasn't able to come and we missed him. It was a good ride except for when Elena threw up the hundreds of blue berries she had been eating right as we were coming down the grape vine. I think she might have been carsick.

Patrick was checking out the baggage claim to make sure it was working.

Then we met my brother Ben in Long Beach and headed to Wahoo's for some yummy fish and shrimp tacos

This picture was really funny at the time because I told Patrick to say cheese and he said "I'm eating!!!!!" I got a picture right in the middle of his statement.

Elena was just being adorable and eating ketchup, gross.

Bens actually smiling. Its a miracle.

Then we headed to the beach to enjoy the sun, sand and waves. Patrick loved the water and played in the waves the whole time. Ben stood with him and held his hand so the water wouldn't knock him down.The water scared Elena a little and she just wanted to play in the sand.

Patrick did actually take a break for a few minutes but then he got right back in.

Grandma and Elena played in the sand for while

Elena and I made sand turtles

Elena looked like drunk person every time she tried to walk in the sand.
Sara and I soaked up a little sun

Mom brought a kite that went directly into the sky so she just tied it to a chair and let it fly.

These turtles must have just hatched and were making their way back to the ocean.
