Balboa Island-CA

Today we met our friends, Jen, Jeff and Kailey (From Chicago) at Balboa Pier. It was amazing. So pretty, so much going on. Great company. The kids all had fun. Can't think of a better way to spend a Saturday afternoon!

Kailey and Austin playing frisbee.
on the pier
HUGE WAVE
The crew, minus Jen and myself. Dale, Jeff, Eric, Austin and Kailey.
Kain LOVES to play in the sand. A giant sandbox? What kid wouldn't love this! (Even if he is playing with Kailey's princess toys)
My little beach bum
Oh, they are just getting started....
Kailey and Austin are practicing to surf. Surf school doesn't start until age 5 in California. I wonder if we will sign up?
My boys....
Wonder who's having the most fun here?
I'm thinking they see/hear an airplane.Austin loves the ocean.

our sweet beach rides
on the Pier
Austin checking out all the boats . It is so pretty down here!
This Amazing candy shop. Of coarse we all got to pick something out. Austin chose Candy Lips, Remember those? Eric-Mamba, Kain-red shoe-string Licorice. (he just liked to hold the bag) Me. I got to try everyone's! :)
Every pier has a Ferris Wheel except this one was $3/per person and a 5 min. ride. Eric, Austin and Kain went on this, I'm taking the pictures
walking along the boardwalk
The Ferry that goes to the other side.
we were going to take the boys over, but the line was so long. Have you ever been on a Ferry? It takes you and your car over to the other side.. on a boat. Can you imagine what Austin was saying when he saw this?

Such a fun day with great friends. !
