Down at the boardwalk...

During Lauren & Jackson's visit, we spent one day at the Santa Cruz boardwalk. Jackson went on some amusement rides, and both kids enjoyed playing on the beach.

Although this is a kid's ride, it still gives a good kick... goes straight up and free-falls down, several times. Didn't scare Jackson a bit!

Katy falls sound asleep in her stroller on the short walk to the car, after a fun-filled afternoon... and once in the car, Jackson joined her in dreamland. :)
