It was another beautiful day on Monday. Brad had the day off, so after Ava's nap we decided to head over the hill to Santa Cruz again and soak up the sun. We picked Live Oak beach, which is a beach Brad took me to on one of our first dates to have a bonfire. It's a great spot where dogs are allowed to run free, there are tide pools to explore, and it's safe to go in the water, most days. On this day it was too rough (and of course too cold), but watching the waves was exciting!
this is Ava's new favorite mode of transportation. She calls it "piggy wide" (piggy ride, as in piggy back ride). It's actually really comfortable for me too!
Ava asked to get down, of course, when she saw people and doggies playing in water.
And within minutes her bottom half was soaked! She is crazy in the water. She kept pulling Brad as hard as she could to get him to go further in! Doesn't she get cold?!
I love this picture of them.
We stayed until 5 and headed home for dinner. It's so great to be so close to Santa Cruz. We're lucky to be on the beach in February. There is still an east coast part of me that just can't believe it's true.
I love how Ava is right there in the water! I remember being that brave when I was younger...no longer! :)
