Long Beach with Babies

Mark, Nathaniel, and Chris
Mark and Annie came through LA on a cruise trip so we drove down to Long Beach to see them before they flew home.  We brought a picnic lunch and went down to the beach.
The seagulls would follow the boys up and down the beach because they fed them some of their sandwiches.
It was a mostly sunny day, but windy and a little chilly.
The sandwiches were on very chewy bread.
Mark watches as Ayla tries to step over the bits of bamboo in the surfline on the sand.
The babies weren't quite convinced that a cold windy beach was fun for them.
Jane plays with a placecard while Davis stacks and restacks pillows on her back.
It was fun to see them for a little while.  Jane has changed since we saw them at Christmas.  She is almost crawling so Davis helped her work on her skills by providing "resistance training", using pillows that Jane had to try to crawl out from under.  Jane thought it was fun and Mark and Annie didn't object, so I guess it wasn't baby abuse.
