Over the fourth of July, we met up with Anna, Shane, Kali, Susan, Jeremy, Sarah, and Maya at the Redondo Seaside Lagoon. The lagoon is heated by a nearby steam-generation plant, and has lots of sand and water to play in.
Neither Miranda nor Eleanor have had swim lessons yet, but they do play with water each week at daycare. Miranda walked right into the water up to her chest. She mostly liked playing with the mud in the shallowest part of the water though. Eleanor may have put her toe in the water, but that was about it. I carried her out over the water to talk with others for a bit, but the whole time Eleanor was holding onto me very tightly.
We’ll probably post more pictures of this trip to the lagoon when we reach the end of the month, but here are a few of them:
This is Miranda playing in the mud with Agnes.
Eleanor was mostly content to play in the sand. She sat by as Jeremy dug a hole for our umbrella.
Maya seemed to be practicing her swimming in the very shallow water with Susan.
Anna is wrapping Kali in a towel after she got out of the water.
Sarah was buried in the sand.
Kali and Shane were sitting on a wall, chatting.
It was nice to see everyone again, and we all went to lunch at the nearby Cheesecake Factory.
