4th of July weekend!

We started the weekend off with a visit to the pool on Saturday. We are trying to get Caiden used to the water with his water wings off because he starts an intense 2-week, every single day, swim program in a couple weeks and when I say, "intense", it is nothing but. Apparently it's pretty brutal but this guy has like a 99% success rate with thousands of reviews.

So we put the water wings on Grace and did some work with Caiden in the pool. He loved hanging on to the noodle, though. So not sure if we really made any progress.

Sunday we went to our usual beach spot in Del Mar at 25th St. It's our ultimate favorite beach because, 1) It's so close to our house, 2) There's always parking if you get there in the morning, 3) It's not filled with tourists, and 4) It's a wide beach with all different types of sand.

On Monday we met our friends at the beach in Solana Beach where they are renting a house for a few weeks. It was a long walk up and down a set of stairs with all our stuff but so fun because we had such a good group of people there. Sara, Dustin and Theo even came for a bit so we decided to skip our usual 1pm departure to guarantee naps and stayed until 3:30. Everyone was having so much fun that I didn't even want to leave then.
