Visiting the OC – Part 2 – The Beach!
August 6th, 2010. (2 years, 2 months old.) by benWell, Danee’s training helped, but I wasn’t really prepared for how much sand is on the beach. My truck couldn’t even come close to holding it all! That’s OK. I quickly learned to fill, dump, and fill again. And watch out for the water!
And then my cousins introduced me to some more serious sand piling efforts – Grandpa Harris’ challenge to build a sand castle taller than Lauren. With some “creative interpretation of the rules” (Daddy’s phrase), we were able to meet the challenge!
Later, I went on my first ferry ride with Daddy, Mommy, and Grandpa Harris. I had a great time sitting on the seat and watching all the other boats.
Later, we went back to the Fun Zone and took a ride on the Ferris wheel. It goes up, and then down, and then up again!
The next day, M&D took me to the MERRY GO ROUND! Wow! As you can see, I queued up first in line!
I got to go on with Daddy (Mommy cheerfully volunteered for photographer duty – I wonder why?), and the look on my face says it all.
After the merry-go-round, we walked out on the pier and ordered french fries from this restaurant out there.
Very yummy. You can see here that I’m taking care of the fries while Mommy takes care of the smiles. Good job, Mommy!
A big thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Harris for inviting us to come stay with them. M&D and I had a great time visiting! Stay tuned for the next exciting chapter in the OC adventure!
What a great series of adventures for Ben! I’m sure he enjoyed his trip to the OC and LA. I hope he will be coming back again soon.
Wow Ben what a fun day and yet more OC adventures to come. You were right about Mommy doing a good job on the smiles but it looks to me like you were doing a pretty good job on the fires as well.
Hi Ben! We sure had a lot of fun when you brought Mom and Dad down to visit with us! We had a great time in the backyard with Aunt Danee, and then took the show on the road to Balboa to visit Grandma and Grandpa Harris at the beach! What a great time we had there! I am glad you enjoyed the ferris wheel and carousel—they were always my favorites, too!
