Grandangel Fun in Huntington Beach, CA Summer 2011

Posted By on August 20, 2011

My grandangels, Harry, William, Vincent, James, Shirley Anne and I went to Huntington Beach for the day while I was in CA.  OH OH OH WHAT FUN WE HAD!  Harry drove (he is still at the permit stage but he did a WONDERFUL JOB….very calm, cool and sensible…….I was SO IMPRESSED!)

When Harry was four years old he said,  “Grandma Shirley, you have been so nice to me ALL OF THESE YEARS. I am going to take you on Harry’s Day out!”  Then he looked at me with those BIG EYES and asked me, “Grandma Shirley, can you drive?”  Then he promised to buy me a prize!  AGAIN…the big four year old eyes looked up at me, “Grandma Shirley, do you have any money?”

I had to wait 12 years for my Harry’s day out, but it was worth the wait!  And this time Harry had his own money!!!  🙂

I used to live in Huntington Beach – and my son, Rob, had his first job at this snack stand on the beach.  I thought it was fun to take a picture of Rob and Lil’s five children in front of the place where their dad had his first job!

Rob had his first job here!

 

We had so much fun riding the beach bicycle!  I sat in the back with James and Vincent.  That was GOOD EXERCISE…….it really was fun.  We had to stop for ice cream along the way…..you know, to keep our strength up!!!!

We had so much fun on the BEACH BICYCLE!

 

I loved being at the Pier and letting the waves splash on my feet!  OH HOW I MISS CALIFORNIA!

 

The beach was wonderful

 

Harry helped me watch the little ones!

 

Doesn't this look like fun!

Shirley Anne is only 6, but  is SO BRAVE and loved jumping over the waves!  She went out with her two older brothers and jumped into the waves!

JUMPNG THE BIG WAVES

Shirley Anne laughed all day!

And….of course I had to take my TRADITIONAL picture – the circle of feet!

My traditional foot picture!

I love my FEET PICTURES – but, oh my, the kids’ feet are growing….at least I don’t THINK my feet are shrinking (I am the one with the ankle bracelets and toe ring.)
