Vacation...Day 1!

We just returned from a week long vacation to Southern California...it was a BLAST!!! We had so much fun we came home literally exhausted! Day one of vacation was actually Matt's birthday. We started the day at his parents apartment and then took off for a day of fun!! We spent most of the day at the pier by their apartment. The kids had a blast looking at the ocean and all the fish and creepy crawlies they sell there.
Grandma and Uncle David came along which made the day all that more special. We walked on the pier and then decided to eat lunch...oddly enough no one had fish for lunch...pizza and Chinese is what everyone ended up ordering. We then let the kids play down on the beach which I knew where this was heading because of course I had no swimsuits!! Chase was content for a few minutes finding shells!
Of course the warnings were not heard..."I promise I won't get wet Mom", can you see him inching backwards his shorts already half wet, with a sneaky smile on his face. Sadi was happy as a clam to dig in the sand with her bucket.
We drug the wet kids off the beach for some birthday shopping and then it was time to meet Grandpa for dinner. Matt chose Ruby's diner for dinner. It is the cutest little old time burger joint with the best burgers!! He even got a special sundae surprise!
If that wasn't enough dessert, we headed back to Grandma's and she had made a very special ice-cream cake for Matt just like he used to have as a kid. He was sooo happy!! He has always talked about how yummy his cake was as a kid, and I must say it was delicious!!
Not sure how we decided on 4 candles, I guess to keep you guessing how young he is! Happy Birthday sweetie!!
