Beach Day!!
I tel you, Steve and Reyna are the best hosts!! We felt so comfortable and welcome at their home. They invited us to stay another night and attend their family reunion which was held on Sunday in Hollywood Hills. We were thrilled!!
Saturday we planned a fun and exciting day at the park which is adjacent to the beach in Oxnard. Steve packed up his RV and the girls piled in his RV. I followed in my car and we all drove to the park and beach!! This was the first time for the girls to drive in an RV. How exciting for them.
This park was massive. The playground was magical. The girls played there for about 3 hours. Then Steve grilled burgers for us and we had lunch.
Reyna had to work in the morning and she joined us for burgers. Their daughter flew in from San Francisco and joined us for burgers also. We drank wine (in real wine glasses!!) and Steve had beer. It was so fun.
We wandered over to the beach. The girls brought along their shovels and pails. They played till their heart’s delight. We all got our feet wet and breathed in the soothing ocean air. It was perfect.
Then a guy carrying his pet iguana came over to us and asked if the girls would like to pet his iguana. He told us he had his pet for 22 years!! The girls were in awe and just amazed!! I got lots of pictures. Reyna thought it was pretty special too.
People were flying kites on the beach and in the park. The girls chased after the kites. There was a Nemo kite and the girls, especially, Savannah, was mesmerized by it.
We left the park at sunset, 7:30pm or so.
Then we got home, cleaned up and then went over to Steve’s bakery. He gave us a tour of the baker and surprised the girls!! They got to make and decorate their own cupcakes. He looked so proud. It was just way too much fun!!
