Nature Study - North Beach

 This week we went to North Beach in San Clemente.  This one is a drive for us but totally worth it.  There's a small playground, the beach, an awesome pier and, of course, the beach! This wasn't supposed to be a water day though although whenever water is near the kids always end up in it.  We were hiking from North Beach to the pier and back again. And since it's summer, not a lot of nature 'study' was going on, but a whole lot of fun.

Some of the girls enjoying the water while waiting for more friends to come.

Little Miss found a huge feather and carried it almost the entire way by herself. 

Who can resist a little baby cuteness?

The kids love this wooden bridge.

Trains!

 I don't have very many pictures of my oldest or youngest on this day.  My oldest was constantly running ahead and I stayed near the toddler, especially being near trains and water.  And the youngest was in the ergo most of our trip.  Everyone had a lot of fun though.
