June Gloom Looms

We've experienced a beautiful, yet unusually cool summer in southern California. Unfortunately, the coastal weather has been disappointing, but that didn't stop Braden from still having a lot of fun at the beach in La Jolla.

Braden did just tell me he wants to be an acrobat, so apparently he is already practicing his skills.

Now I know how he had so much sand on him!
Braden likes to be really clean.....

But flossing his toes with seaweed?! That's a bit overboard!!

Braden stayed busy building a giant sand fortress....even the birds at the beach like to hang out with him! (Papa probably taught him a bird call to attract them).

Looking cozy in a sweatshirt, Braden seems perfectly content even though it was too cold to go in the ocean.
