Birthday Beach Day

Tomorrow is our beautiful daughter's 3rd Birthday.  She is completely in love with the beach and the ocean.  So, when we asked her if she wanted to go to Disneyland or to the beach, she said the beach.  I know!  Children everywhere are gasping.  But, I have to say that we have season passes to Disneyland and use them as often as we can.  We live about 2 1/2 hours from the beach but hadn't been since July.  This beach trip was actually her idea.  About a month ago, she started collecting change at her Grandma's and also at her Great-Grandma's houses.  She told them that she needed money for her "beach trip".  At that time, we had no plans of going to the beach.  But, since she was "saving up", thanks to her Jamma and Nana, we had to plan a trip.  We got up this morning and headed for Avila Beach, California.  This is our favorite beach!!!!!  About a week ago, our daughter also started talking about wanting a kite.  Since it was a little windy at the beach, we got her one there.  I think her daddy enjoyed the kite the most.  He had forgotten just how much he loved flying a kite.  Here are some of the pics I captured of our fun beach day.
