One of the days on our vacation was dedicated to the beach. It wasn't too crowded, but there were lots of people. In the picture above you can see Micheal on the left hand side with his hands on his head. I think he was trying to get the water off his head. Naomi is one of the little heads in the water to the left of him.
Here's another picture of them, again, they are super small since they were quite a ways out. Michael is standing with his brother-in-law and sister with the kids around them.
Naomi decided to come up onto the sand for a while, she was a little freaked out by the seaweed. In the background is the pier we had dinner on later that day.
Naomi loved the waves, but she also enjoyed rolling in the sand. Because once you're covered in sand you must go back into the water to rinse off right?
This is from the end of the pier after dinner. We were all eating dinner and suddenly I saw something jumping in the water. Luckily is was at the end of our meal and we had already paid the bill because the 'something' was dolphins! We all rushed out of the restaurant so we could have a better look. I'm not sure if it was one large pod or several pods, but we were able to watch the dolphins for a good 30-45 minutes. My camera couldn't zoom in enough to get a decent shot of them, but I think one of the darker blobs in front of the boat is one. There was also a bunch of pelicans following the dolphins and swooping up any fish that managed to escape them. It was just a fluke that we even got to see this since we had planned on taking an earlier train back to Anaheim, thank goodness we missed that train!
I don't have pictures of this, but as we were walking back down the pier towards the station we stopped a couple of times to check out what the people fishing off the pier were catching. One person had caught a small shark while another caught a sting ray! Happily both men were nice enough to return these little creatures back to the water.
