I had only been to Santa Cruz twice in my life until we went camping! Then, we went twice in one week!!! After our camping trip, my family had a guest from out of town who had never been to the ocean before. They decided to take her to Santa Cruz, so the boys and I decided to join them! We had A TON OF FUN!!!
We started off at Natural Bridges State Beach! Played volleyball for a bit...
...and just hung out...
...until everyone decided to get a bit closer to the water!!!
Ryan and Auntie Aubs had fun dipping their feet in...
...and running away from the waves!!!
Austin wasn't too sure until Uncle Trev talked him into it!!!
They got a little too close for comfort...
...and Ryan had to come join in the fun!!!
Before we knew it, Trevor...
...and Steve were skin boarding...
...then went in all the way with Aubrey and Kassie!!! CRAZY!!!
The boys weren't up for swimming in the ocean with the sharks, so they switched gears to playing in the sand...
...and working together...
...to build a sandcastle!!!
Unfortunately, the waves came a little to close for comfort and tried to take a few of their sand toys into the ocean, so Austin packed up and headed up the beach!!! 
Back to building a sandcastle on much safer grounds with the help of Aubrey and Kassie...
...and Uncle Trevor too!!!
So proud of his masterpiece!!!
After a bit, we took a walk to the tide pools to check out some sea creatures!!! 
Luckily we moved right before the big wave came that would have taken us out to sea!!!
We decided after a while to switch to a new beach and headed to the Boardwalk!!!
We played volleyball again, this time with a net!!!
And had some fun in the sun!!!Ryan wanted to be buried, so we covered him up!
Austin wanted to try, but was done very quickly!!! Not a fan of being dirty I guess!!! Well, this time at least!!!
Ryan wanted to be buried again, so Auntie Natalie and Auntie Megan turned him into a mermaid! That's right, I said mermaid, not merman! Silly Aunties!!!
He would have stayed there all day if we would've let him, or should I say if the tide would have let him! He laid there for a good 5 minutes until a wave came and "uncovered" him! It was pretty funny!

Right after this picture, there were some seals poking their heads out to say hello! The boys were watching so intently!!! 
Ryan was lovin' on Nana when Trevor came and squished them!
The whole gang! We sure missed Daddy and Papa on our trip to the beach! They'll have to join us next time!
