Vacation Day 5 - Gaslamp and more fun at the Beach!

We started off our morning with a family stroll along the boardwalk for some breakfast. Kyan said he was hungry for pancakes, so pancakes is what he got! After breakfast, the kids stopped to play in the sand. Kyan even snapped another picture of Chad and I! He loves the camera as much as mama does!














After our walk we headed to the Gaslamp for some shopping and lunch! We stumbled upon this place called Dicks, well...where the waiters were just that! It was so funny and we laughed our entire meal! The food was delicious!

If you click on the picture above you will see the back of the sign that this girl was holding up! It was her job to stand outside and try to entice people to come in and eat - she was really funny and acted like a total airhead! If people didn't want to come in to eat, she would flip over her daily special sign, where it had the letters FU on it and what looked like the middle finger being waved! One wouldn't notice it as they were walking away because their backs would be turned, but it sure was funny to watch her flip her sign at people and chuckle when they told her no!


They put bibs on you when you first sat down - Jearel and I got the piggy bibs! I left mine like that the entire time, but Jearel had to take his down, Jayla wasn't sure what was wrong with daddy and it was freaking her out!


After Gaslamp, we headed down to the beach, where Jearel and Kyan built a hole to China with a bridge across it! It wasn't until Chad was freshly napped (on the beach) that he joined in on the fun! At that point, Kyan was determined to get water into the hole, so the daddies helped out!


The kids all took their turns in the holes that their daddies made!


Lola was sharing her food with Jayla, just not right here!


Snuggle Time - Lola curled up with the beach towel - she was ready for ny ny!

Happy as a clam!

This round of photos makes me laugh!

You got some awesome pictures, and those last ones gave me a pretty good laugh too!
I LOVE that one of Chad with both kiddos, from behind, on the beach- so sweet.
You even captured the hotel (little bungalows) on the boardwalk where we will eventually stay one day?!...

Off to Bikram Yoga, so will comment on others later...

The gaslamp would have been cooler if we had a fold up directory, this way we weren't walking to no where. Plus boys and shopping don't always mix. I loved Dicks though. It was a very cool place and so yummy!!

Jearel is one determined hole digger. I'm sure Jayla will appreciate it some day. I loved watching Kyan get a bucket full of water over and over trying to fill those darn holes up.
