Enjoying Cali.......between rainstorms!

Well, whoever said the weather here was perfect was slightly mistaken. So far we have had more rainy days than not, but the temperatures have been fair. So between storms we headed to the beach!

It's funny how small the world really is. Over 2 years in Boston and it took a move to San Diego to meet this wonderful family. The Bunker's have been wonderful to us and Payton became fast friends with their daughter Avery.
We got rained on at the park, so we drove up the beach a few miles to what is now called Seal beach. By then the rain stopped and the view was amazing!
The kiddos were wet and enjoying every minute of it! Such troopers! Avery really enjoyed showing us all of the sights.
We stopped to look at some of the wildlife, you could have reached out and touched them! I think they were soakin up as much of the sun as they could!
This guy wondered away from all of his buddies and found his own sunbathing rock! He sat there so still and looked up at the sun, I knew exactly how he must have been feeling at that moment " Ahh peace and sun, what more do I need".
Payton and Avery looking at the foamy water, payton asked me if someone had poured Bubble Bath into the ocean.
There really were some amazing views at this beach. This little waterfall was definately one of my faves!
And "Seal Beach", apparently it was made to be a wading pool for people, but the seals found it to be a better spot for them. They swim in the little cove of water and play, then wiggle onto the beach for their afternoon naps. Has anyone watched a seal move? It is very comical and Payton has tried mimicking the move ever since!
Now to top off the wonderful afternoon, some tree climbing!

It was a really nice afternoon, Thanks to the Bunkers!
