Thanks Will Rogers! (Revised)

The stretch of beach just north of Santa Monica, Will Rogers State Beach, was the setting for the outdoor fun yesterday. We got to see raging surf, dolphins, and our friend Beth. Yay, Beth!

After a while, we were joined by Miss R and mommy. The hole originally excavated by Beth and I turned into a sort of child-imitates-dolphin jumping event captured by the next two photos. Yep, Miss R gamely jumped across the two-foot expanse to belly flop on the sand followed by our boy. They did this repeatedly, like dolphins breaching the surface for air.

(I guess dolphins are actually more graceful, but I like to tie things together when I can.)

I was very happy to be privy to this group hug captured by Beth.

Finally, when the kids looked cooked, we left our sandy piece of paradise and went home.
