back for round {2}

i didn't quite get my fill of california from my last trip out there, probably because the beach was constantly overcast, so

i decided to take the kids and go back for a long weekend in attempt to get some good beach weather.

thursday my mom had my brothers kids, so we all went out to la to the natural history museum. i had never been there, so i was actually really excited to go. the place was massive, and was absolutely amazing.

it was built in 1913, so the architecture was so beautiful, and the exhibits were so life like and so visual. berkeley loved seeing all the animals, and couldn't stop talking about the dinosaurs. she was entertained all day, and couldn't stop talking about every animal that we saw.

beckham was a gem the whole day. he started getting sleepy and asked for his blankee and just nestled in his stroller.

he was asleep in minutes.

then we went to the beach twice. the first day we went to newport and the weather was beautiful. we met up with my friend jade and her little girl. berkeley found some friends of course and played all day. beckham didn't quite know what to do with himself because he was so tired, so half the day he just wandered around aimlessly holding his blanket.

the second day we went to the beach, we went to manhattan beach in la. it was overcast....so lame. we went with my mom and 2 sisters. we stayed for about 2 hours and i was freezing the whole time. it was still fun to go though, and let the kids play.

i dont even know what to say.

words cannot express how bizarre this was.

berk found this hat in my sisters stuff and she said it was her magician hat, so she added a magic wand, and naturally, she went ahead and took the whole charade to the beach.

me and jade and our darling babies who are only 1 day apart.

such a fun beach day.
