Last night Bret and I went to  bed too late. I didn’t want to get up this morning. I decided I didn’t need to rest so off we went with our day. We met my photography group at the Laguna Niguel Botanical Gardens. It was really pretty and the kids had fun playing together. Nicole and Justin met a new friend they really liked it. They all played at the play structure as well. I got some cute pics:

The kids were troopers with me taking pictures. We came home and had lunch and rested. Nikki made pretty pictures with stamps and markers. Justin used his shake n go car racer set. I looked at all the pics I took. I let the kiddos watch TV, Word Girl and Martha Speaks, while I took a quick nap. Then we got ready to go to Laguna Beach. We parked and took the trolley shuttle to the beach. That was fun in itself for the kiddos. We had a fun night. We went to the ocean first and the kids were in the water having a great time. Justin told me it was cold the first time he went in but the second time it was warm. After the water we went over to the play structure. The kids were having such a great time playing we decided to get dinner to go and have a picnic. The kids ate a little but then said they wanted to take a break to play. It was so warm by the beach and it was just nice watching the kiddos play. I took my camera so I will have to see if I got any good pics. My kiddos were so good today, it was so nice. They had a cookie and a shower when we got home. As usual bedtime was 9:00.

Below are some pics from the beach. I was proud of getting the jumping shot:
