Whenever we're in San Clemente, this cute little beach side cafe just calls our name ... begging us to enjoy some yummy strawberry topped waffles. You just can't turn an offer like that down!
We waited outside for a few ... making the most of our people watching skills before getting a table!
YUMMY!
Then, later that evening, it was back to the beach for a little sand castle making, wave jumping and kite flying! My kind of evening ...
We started off jumping waves as a family until J How (who is normally a bit timid of the ocean) announced that he wanted to do it all by himself. So ... I
obliged.
He started off fully clothed ...
But shortly after meeting up with a killer wave ... lost his shorts ...
And then, after meeting his match with another wave monster ... it was down to his britches ...
Britches with sand in them. NICE!
After wave jumping, we ate snacks and changed clothes and then How spotted the
helicopter kite that Cake and Pap Pap brought. It just had to be flown ...
And Ben gave it his best Baywatch attempt ...
But ... even with his running skills and the help of Uncle Robert ...
The
helicopter just preferred lounging on the sand. And who wouldn't.
It was the perfect evening ...
Just ask our junior lifeguard. Lifeguard Kyle took him up on the lifeguard tower and How told him ENDLESS stories of trains, planes and life long dreams. Don't worry. Kyle was a
multi-tasker ... he kept his eyes on the ocean as Joshua went ON, and ON and ON!
