After Disneyland Friday night we had a lovely dinner with Margaret and Mariah and crew and then drove through LA traffic up to Ojai. We got a hotel in town for the night and enjoyed a nice respite from the crazy fun day at Disneyland.
Here's Eli playing chess with me at breakfast at the hotel. He is both a gentleman and a scholar.
Getting ready for a soak in the hot tub.
After our night at the Blue Iguana we stayed with Shaun and Tamara (Crystal's son's family) and their sweet boy Zaydrian. Eli and Zayd played so well together and had such a great time. We were especially amazed at how chipper Tam was to have us there...she delivered their second child (a little girl) the morning after we left!
Sunday we went to the beach. This picture was taken the moment Sammy touched sand for the first time. He LOVED it.
Getting dressed for the beach. It takes time.
Eli and Zayd build castles.
The water was pretty chilly.
