The kids were still on Ohio time, and we were all sharing a room. So when someone started chirping sometime between 4:30-5am, we ALL got up.

We were trying not to wake the whole house, so we went for a little walk down to the beach ... in our pajamas :)

Playing Ski-Ball:
This right here was MADE for Amelia. For like $5 you could buy a small bottle that said Santa Monica Pier and you could fill it with rocks and shells. The sales girls said that almost everyone just scoops a handful into the bottle.
Amelia, in typical Amelia form, was selecting them one by one. She was there at least 15 minutes, with Mommy and Christine having to step in and help, too.
With cotton candy, at the mid-point:
