Today Mason and Olivier turned 12, their golden birthday! And they had the day off from school. And what better way to celebrate your birthday when it is very warm out (mid 80's!) than to go to the beach! We went to a beach we usually don't go to since we figured it would be less busy today and we were right. The boys enjoy some time in the waves (yes, they did go in the water). I joined Olivier on the edge of the water helping him pick rocks to skip for a bit.
We went to the local candy store that specializes in unusual candies, namely candies with bugs. Olivier got an apple lollypop with a scorpion in it. And yes, he did eat it!
After having lunch on the pier the kids explored the playground a bit. They have a cool whale play structure.
Later in the afternoon we headed to the monarch butterfly grove and enjoyed seeing the butterflies. It is hard to show the groups but here are a couple photos of that show the butterflies.
We returned home and cleaned up and finally let the Olivier and Mason open their gifts.
After pizza and a movie it was time for their chosen deserts, cookie dough and pumpkin pie!
