So on the second day of our anniversary trip to Santa Barbara, California, we took Max and Charlotte for their very first beach experience!
Of course, we'd been to the beach before:

But this was the first time where they could really appreciate it on their own!

Given that Max and Charlotte love playing in and with water above almost anything else they do, I naïvely assumed that they'd be all about frolicking in the ocean. Shows what I know! In retrospect, it is quite clear that the allure of the enormous sandbox in which they found themselves would trump all else, particularly when there were sand toys on hand!

Though Charlotte did primarily stick with playing in the sand ...

... Max was intrigued by the waves. He didn't get too much closer after getting knocked down by a couple, however.

I just really like this picture of Max. (Note the birds in the background, which also drew their attention for a while during our time at the beach.)
Without qualification, I can definitely say that it was a wonderful trip and a great anniversary! And, with Santa Barbara being so accessible to us, I'm sure we'll be back for more great memories!
