johnny and kate: san diego- part two

the second day of the trip started out so fun! we got up early and drove down PCH to admire the view of the coast line. the kids had never seen the ocean before, so it was fun to see their reactions to everything. johnny calls it "tiki beach" because of an episode of the backyardigans. we ended up in la jolla, which was really nice. it wasn't too crowded and the weather was perfect.kate didn't know how to walk in the sand. when i set her down she just stood there frozen. it took her a few minutes to actually take a step. it was hilarious!
this was a cute picture of johnny and vanessa. she was burying his feet. he loved it. he was scared of the ocean. he cried a little. he is literally scared of everything. but i think it's cute!
kate was our little water baby. she couldn't get enough of the water. tommy played in the water with her the entire time.

this was really funny. i bought johnny a little squeaky shark and he was running around playing with it. well, when he set it down to try going in the water, sea gulls swooped down and one started pecking at it, and put it in his mouth and started to fly away with it! then like 20 more sea gulls flew over to check it out. i was yelling at tommy to go get it from the stupid birds, but he was (how do i say this nicely?) afraid! i wonder where johnny gets it from??? so, i got up and ran over there, but by this time the birds realized the shark wasn't a real fish so they kind-of didn't want it anymore. the people sitting by us couldn't believe it either!
