Day at the beach! Part III

Day at the beach! Part I

Despite a side-trip to Firestone to repair a tire (had a giant screw stuck in it causing a slow leak), we had a lovely day at Venice Beach! Paul played on the slide again at the playground, then we headed off to the beach, proper.

Daddy made a valiant effort to spread out our beach blanket, er, bed sheet. . .
Paul is equipped for sand play thanks to a very kind mom at the playground who had an extra shovel and cup (may her good karma return to her 10-fold).
The ocean is so very. . .
. . .very big.
Paul still does not like the water on his feet - to be fair, it was pretty cold. . .

Lemme just send this text, then we'll go, OK?

Mmmm. . . yogurt!

Day at the Getty - Part VII

I do not want to go to there!!
A boy, his dad, and the monkey on his back. . .


A Rene Magritte sculpture rounded out our day at the museum.

Day at the Getty - Part IV


The funniest part about Paul on Shawn's shoulders, is that with every step, Paul would exclaim "woah!"
