The beach

As I mentioned before, we packed up the car and headed to the beach on Josh's birthday. The water is far too cold for swimming but we figured Paul should at least dip his toes in the Pacific Ocean. We picked a pretty obscure beach so that it wouldn't be crowded and we could let the dogs off leash for some fun.

My brother developed a bit of an addiction to Chipotle burritos while he was here so he asked me what he had to do to get a free burrito out of me. I told him he had to fully submerge in the freezing water. He quickly agreed and then we told him the coast off San Francisco is a Great White shark breeding ground so he shouldn't go very deep, just in case. If it was me I would have declined the bargain after hearing about the sharks but apparently the lure of the burrito was too much for Paul!


Zeke was not happy that Paul was heading in without him and he got especially upset when Paul went under water. Zoey didnt seem to be concerned at all.


"Get me outta here!"


Here's Paul being dragged into the water by Zeke. It was so funny because he'd run in and then as soon as the waves broke in his face he'd turn around and bolt out with this scared look on his face. Then he'd go back and repeat the cycle. It was hilarious!




Exploring on the rocks.









Zoey didnt like the water quite as much as Zeke. This was her first time at the beach and when we let them off leash she bolted in after Zeke, accidentally went underwater and resurfaced with a horrified look on her face, and then didn't want to go in after that. Poor little thing :-(


Josh found this stinky crab skeleton and of course the dogs wanted to eat it. Dogs are pretty disgusting.













The dogs had the best time and we had so much fun watching them. I probably posted way too many dog photos but I couldn't help myself - I just love those 2 so much!

It was a fun couple of hours at the beach - we should really go more often!
