CA Trip, Days 2 & 3

Troy had gotten us all tickets to an Angel's game.  It was the girls' first professional game, and they did much better sitting and watching (or holding Kelsey while she napped) than I thought they would.

Trey, Brady, Gracie and Ella.  Irelynn photo bombing in the back :0)  Thanks, Uncle Troy for the Angel's shirts! 

Getting some time to chat while little people are distracted by the game.
Holding Kelsey was a favorite thing to do on this trip!  

Auntie Rochelle was pretty popular too!

Some of the crew in front of the "A".
 We had lunch at a few of the places we've seen featured on Food Network.  Slater's 50/50 was one of them.  Troy and Mark were brave enough to try the 50/50 burger with peanut butter, jelly and ice cream.

Lunching in the sunshine, surrounded by palm trees and good friends and family.  So wonderful.
After lunch we hit the beach again.  Because we only had half the sand on the shore in our van after our last trip to the beach.  We needed more...

Gracie with her collection of sand crabs.   
Ire, hangin' with grandma.
Ella liked to roll in the sand.  A lot.  Have you seen the movie, The Croods?  Well, she's kind of like a crood with a New Jersey accent.  Cleaning Ella up after the beach was...interesting.
All of the big kids.  I'm diggin' Trey's seaweed scarf.  He tried wrapping them all up in it, but the girls would have no part in that business.
Family beach pic.
More sand crab fun (unless you were a sand crab, then it was torture).  Irelynn's crab didn't make it.  She carried him around for a long time- at least he was a fresh kill. 
Gracie, trying not to get knocked down in the waves. 
Aaand...passed out.  After a long afternoon of sun and fun.
