Baby Beach

So I think this place is actually called "Mother's Beach" but Kyle calls it Baby Beach. It's a quiet, less-trafficked strip of sand on the peninsula side of Balboa that has calm waters perfect for young kids. Over the weekend, we invited our friends, the Hutchens, to join us for fishing, kayaking, swimming, and some "paddle-boarding."

Kyle loved using his boogie board as a raft.

He also used it as a makeshift surfboard and got some balance practice in. This picture was my late/missed all the moments/feeble attempt to capture his efforts. He did a great job!

This little dock is within swimming distance. Rudy and our friend Kalman gave several kids a little fishing lesson.

Gavin got some time in the kayak in the shallow waters (his first?). He squealed with glee while Kyle got a little ride spinning around.

Then, Kyle's friend, Nate, got a turn.

Ru is such a fun dad. There's never a dull moment...

The kids had a blast!
