Sunday morning (8/14/11), we went to the Beach down in Santa Monica. This was Ava's first time at the beach. I grew up at the beach as a kid and I wanted Ava to experience it too. We had breakfast and headed out. It is about a 45 minute drive (without traffic). It was a foggy morning and quite cool down there, but it was so nice to go. Ava had so much fun. She took her shoes off when we got to the sand and ran towards the water. Her and Mike walked down to the water while Noah and I hung out on the towel. There were some guys fishing and they caught a huge fish, so she was exciting to see. We built some sand castles and hung out for about a half hour and then headed out because it was getting cold.
Here are some pictures.

That afternoon, the Heidenfelder side of the family came over to visit and to celebrate some of the August birthdays in the family.
We had an assortment of yummy pastries. Mikes nieces and nephew came over and the girls played with Ava. She had so much fun. They brought over these barbie like dolls and Ava loved putting the shoes and the hats on the dolls. She was in seventh heaven.
