yesterday, jeff and i woke up grumpy. our options were either get out of the house or watch our sunday go down the drain in a haze of lazy grumpiness. it was 80˚ and we had nothing planned, so why not?
“everyone get your suits on and grab a towel! dont bother to brush your hair! LETS GO!”
we got to the huntington pier and parked (barely. everyone else had the same idea as us.)
walked to the end of the pier for lunch at ruby’s diner. suffered through the hour wait by torturing my family with photos.
nate was sporting the kanye glasses – so we all had a turn.
and then we ate.
and then we played. i LOVE THESE NEXT TWO PHOTOS!
oh… my boys. the brothers. my man children. my beautiful little people.
and then jeff and i sat in the sand sharing headphones and listening to music until the sun went behind some clouds and the wind got cold and strong.
and then we packed up and headed home.
for anyone missing my twitter update in the menu at the top of my blog, jared is still working on it. for now, get TWITTERIFIC. it is an awesome program that pops up on your desktop every time someone you follow updates their status.
beautiful pic’s and a beautiful family!!
living completely vicariously through you and your amazing weather, it was below zero in Minnesota on Sunday night and we still have layers of snow….oh thank you for the beach pictures!
Hi Tara…love your beach photos (I really can’t wait for summer)! I am very interested in photography (I just got my first DSLR for Christmas) and was wondering what lenses you used for these photos. Thanks!
Fabulous! Just fabulous!!!
hi dawn, i used this lens: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/264304-USA/Canon_8014A002_Zoom_Wide_Angle_Telephoto_EF.html

I am so jealous that you live where it is 80 degrees!
I really love the photos of all of the kids on the beach. You captured such great smiles of all of them in the second one.
your kids are beautiful. they just look like the belong together!
I saw this etsy shop today and thought of you. I bought an item from this seller…but I don’t know this person etc.
