The Beach

There are rules.

Whenever you go to California, you must go to the beach.



(Even though Northern California beaches are freezing, and you end up staying fully dressed for most of the day.)



You must dip your feet into the frigid water that gives you instant frostbite. (Lydia actually LOVED the water!)



You must sample the local sand with your cousin.



You must play play play with cousins you don't get to see enough.



And if you are a Brown, you must create some sort of sand monument. These are legendary. Troy will do the digging.



Lydia will play in the hole.




Even Grandpa will get involved in the efforts.


And Ryan, Grandma, and Nicole will proudly kneel by their monument- a sea crab.



But a sea crab is not enough. You must build another creature. A baby elephant, perhaps?

When can we come back?

OH, I love your Dad and his button up shirt digging in the sand! That is classic Mr. Brown :) Glad you guys had fun!!

I can't believe those sand creations. You guys are talented. I am so jealous. We need to come and dip our toes in the freezing water of Northern Cali.

Looks fun. Was that Santa Cruz? The resevoir is in Herriman. If you head West on 134th South off of Bangeter, turn left onto 5000 West. Follow that until it forces you to turn right on Juniper Crest. From there you will take a right on Emmiline (sp?) and then a left on Ashland. The resevoir is at the end of that road. Bring beach chairs and sand toys. It's a lot of fun. Maybe we can all go together sometime.
