We had Easter Break here in Bakoland last week. Easter break is not really a break for John--he graded papers non stop from Friday before break until Wednesday (can't wait till May when he gets a real break!) Finally on Thursday, we decided to go to Ventura for the day. The weather was great and we had a fun time!
We played at the playground on the beach first thing.
Then down to the beach.
Jacey and Jaden are the only ones who ventured into the water.
Jackson who is scared of pretty much nothing was scared of the ocean. He clung to either John or me the whole time while close to the water.
The water was COLD.
John made some kind of weird shrine.
Here it is.
They found a lady bug and worried about it surviving the beach. They made a home for it.
You can see it close up in this one.
After the beach, we made our way to the harbor.
Jacey wanted to be the mermaid.
So did Jared
Had to get one of Jackson- who was missing his nap and starting to show it.
At the arcade
After the arcade, we ate at a yummy fish restaurant and then went home. We had to stop at one of the produce stands on the way home and get some fruit, nuts and candy. We left Lola the dog at home in the backyard with my mom checking on her and feeding her. We came home to our screen sliding door all ripped out. Lovely! We had a fun time though! Need to spend some more time at the beach this summer!

Beach day trips this summer..... it's a must!! Love the Shrine by the way :-)
We discovered (after leaving Sammy for too long at the cabin) that fixing screen doors is actually quite easy. You can buy the kit and mesh at Home Depot and have it fixed in under an hour.
Jeanette and I think we should meet up at Venture some time - that park looks great and the kids would have a blast. Any free Saturdays anytime soon?
ahhhh... the beach. i miss it.
