Summer Visit, Part 2!

Trip to Bodega Bay.  Aubrey and Bethany had never seen the Pacific Ocean!
First stop: Schoolhouse Beach.  
The trick here was to not get wet when a big wave splashed over the rocks.
How do you think they did?
We stayed at Inn at the Tides
View from the hotel room looking out at the bay and watching family come back from picking up breakfast.
 Bodega Head Trail short hike.
It was a beautiful day!
Then one more stop: Goat Rock Beach
Saw this sign: Danger: This is one of the most deadly beaches in California
Packing up to head home with a souvenir.
Fun at home: The girls did lots of Magna Tiles, Planks and Little People..
...and Legos.  Sorry this is blurry but it was a fun set: Friends Baking Competition
And they got a surprise and riddle each day:
The riddles were to get excited about going to the beach:
Why does a seagull fly over the sea?  
Because if it flew over the bay, it would be a baygull!
How do we know the ocean is friendly?
It waves!
What does Cinderella wear at the beach?
Glass flippers!
Why don't oysters share their pearls?
Because they are shellfish!
What is a sea monster's favorite meal?
Fish and ships!
Why did the whale cross the ocean?
To get to the other tide!
Why did the cantaloupe jump in the ocean?
It wanted to be a watermelon!
What did the ocean say to the beach?
I'm not shore!
What did the mermaid use to call her friends?
A shell phone!
What did the shovel say to the bucket on the beach?
Are you okay?  You're looking a little pail!
Why is the sand under the dock so resistant?
It doesn't give into pier pressure!
Where does seaweed look for a job?
In the Kelp-wanted ads!
Which are the strongest creatures in the ocean?
Mussels!
Quick trip to the park to check out the Big Feet:
Summer Visit=FUN!

Summer Visit: Part 1!

We loved having John, Sara, Aubrey and Bethany here!
Hoverboards were a big hit after the first time around with help.
Then it was easy and fun!
They even made up a show for us!
First time around for John and then he was an expert!
Kayaking on Lake Natoma!
Stay tuned for Part 2!
