Day at the Beach

 We went to Porto's for breakfast again.

I had the egg, cheese and guacamole sandwich and OJ.  It was good but too much.

We headed to Sharon & Michael's place.  The goal was to leave there at 8:30 am.  It was almost 9 am by the time we actually left.  Nathan was in Pam's car with Sharon and her  kids and George and I were in Jamie's car.  We got to the Zuma beach in Malibu first.

Jamie was King of the mountain 

There were very few people on the beach.

Pam, Sharon, Jamie with Nicole and Ella.

Nathan actually did get in a few times.  It was too cold for the rest of us.

Lots of birds

And shock of all shocks - Dolphins!!

They were around for quite a while.

Ella took a turn sledding down the hill.

We left around noon.  We went to Uncle AF's in Malibu for lunch.  We called the order in so the food was there when we got there.  

Ella in a tree.

Ella coming back down.  She had gone up, mostly by herself with a little help from her friends.

Nathan had no help from his friends.  He kept slipping back down.

Walking back to the car.

We got back around 2:30 pm.  Not much down time today.  We tried playing a game of Fish but it had been so long since we had played that we messed up some of the rules.  We looked up the rules.  

Nathan had given Ella and Nicole drinking glasses that they could decorate.  They had fun working on that.

Ella's wanted to work on her homework for her Japanese class.

Dinner was left-overs and Tex-Mex food.  I almost finished the Butter Chicken. 

Nicole went to bed early.  We fit in a game of 8, 7, 6.  That was fun.

We left around 7:30 pm to head back to the hotel.
