what better way to spend the day...

...on your birthday than at the beach! we went to balboa island today...it was our first time to actually go to the beach there (unless you count driving through in the car). first of all, we got GREAT parking...we could see the car from our spot on the beach...don't you love when parking comes easy, it just starts the day out good. it was just a mellow day & i realized that this might be our last time going to the beach as a family of 4...since school starts soon. crazy.
anyways...enjoy our pics.




no, the bird's not dead ;)
