After that, we went to Carlsbad State Beach, where the kids saw the ocean for the very first time! Even though it was a tad chilly out, nothing could stop the kids from running along the beach and chasing the waves. The water was really cold, but they just LOVED it!!! We packed a picnic lunch to eat at the beach and the seagulls were hovering right over us, waiting for a little treat I guess... (kind of like my mom's dog, Willie, ogling me when I'm eating something at her house)! Jared and Emily even brought a kite along and it was the perfect day to fly a kite! Oliver was singing, "Let's go fly a kite...". It was a pretty windy day. I was in my sweatshirt the whole time we were there!

We had such a fun day! After we got back to Jared and Emily's house, we had a FANTASTIC turkey dinner with ALL the fixins'. It was a second Thanksgiving and it was GREAT!!!
Here is a video of Ollie and Aubrey playing in the ocean. (Eden was pooped by this time and laying with Ed on the beach wrapped in her towel!)
