Hunington Beach

I am going to call this our "Summer of the Beaches"
Since we are poor and have no big vacation plans, we have discovered how easy and inexpensive it is to pack up in the morning and head to the beach. With a few lunch snacks, beach chair, umbrella, buckets and our friends, we are 2 hours from fun. Today we headed to Hunington Beach with our friends the Mattssons. It is crazy to think that we left the desert with 109 degree weather and in just 2 hours we are sitting at the beach where is it windy, and a cool/cold 68 degrees. But no matter what the weather is like, the kids have a blast. Hunington Beach by far is our favorite. It is really clean with miles of sand. Instead of catching sand crabs and getting caught up in seaweed, the kids were catching big,black crabs. Our new found secret to getting sand off of the kids is rubbing baby powder all over them and the sand comes right off.
