Grandma and Grandpa Come to Play!

We have been so excited for Grandma and Grandpa Allen to come out and visit us! They got here Sunday evening and we completely wore them and us out! Most of these pictures are from one day but I will post more when I get some from their camera. Anyway, Wednesday we went to the Getty Center. It was such an amazing place! Here is our favorite fountain.

Another pic with the fountain. The only kind of bad thing about this place was Crew was seriously being red flagged everywhere he went. Not entirely kid friendly but it didn't help that he was touching paintings and throwing rocks in the gardens! Whose kid is that anyway?One of the highlights from the whole experience was taking the tram to and from. Crew loved it.

After the Getty we took them to Malibu to our favorite Zuma beach. It was pretty overcast and chilly when we first got there but after about a half hour the sun came out! Thank goodness! It was still a bit cool but a lot of fun.
Crew's new favorite thing is being buried in the sand.
He also still loves jumping the waves and just running in general on the beach.
Matt and Dave did some pretty intense body surfing! Check out this wave! It looks like a tsunami is coming!
After a few hours on the beach we went up to the nearby tide pools at Point Dume. It was really fun to find all the star fish and other sea life. Matt found this dead starfish. Poor guy!
Crew even got brave enough to touch the starfish.
The week went way too fast but we had a lot of fun! We love visitors especially grandmas and grandpas! Thanks Allens for such a great week!
