Just across the road from where we are staying is the Crystal Cove State Park, which is a protected and all natural beach. The nice thing about it is there are hardly any people there, the natural thing about it is that it is quite a hike to get down to the actual beach. Sometimes you have to pass by wild cougars on the way down. Not older single ladies often found here in the O.C., but actual cougars.
As many of our photos will prove, Oliver has developed a real hobby of not looking at or smiling for the camera. The moment he senses he is on film, he closes his eyes or turns away, here he is posing by his name in the sand.
Lennox was determined to beat back the sea. I think he did in fact make the tide recede quite a bit.
Here is the before mentioned "cougar". Look close right in the middle and you can see his rear end and tail. On our way down to the beach, a surfer was on his way up to the parking lot and stopped us and said "don't be alarmed, but there is a good size bobcat just down the path walking around." Sure, not to be alarmed. We walked down cautiously with another guy who determined on seeing it that it had a long tail, so that made it a cougar. O.K. Anyway, the cat crossed down into the ravine and away from us, but it was pretty exciting.
Mom and Ollie shooting foul shots near our villa. The best thing about this court is the ocean view.
Oliver dribbling coast to coast. So to speak.
Lex on his way down to the playground. Get out the way.
Oliver has been doing a lot of running on this trip. I think he has pretty good form. We spent about a half hour just running up and down the beach yesterday. We got some video of that we'll put on later.
Anyway, another easy day a little beach and fun. After the beach we hit Ruby's diner for a Bacon Cheese Burger and their yummy fries. Our friend and neighbor Callie also arrived to help us wrangle Lex a little bit for a couple of days. We are glad to have an extra set of hands.
