The Beach: With Ela & Larry

If you want to enjoy a day a calm, peaceful day at the beach, never go with a bunch of Albanians! Haha. Ela invited us to a birthday BBQ for her fiance Larry yesterday {July 25th} to which she also invited her Albanian cousins, friends, aunts, etc. It was a blast! And a beach trip to remember.

First of all, we get there and it's PACKED. And it's only 10:30 A.M! So we scramble to find an empty BBQ & table. Phew, we found one in the nick of time.

Second, we're not there ten minutes and one of Ela's cousins almost drowns! Luckily, Larry was in a life-guarding mood and ran in to save him, clothes and all...and ruined his phone in the process.

Why did Kevin, 16 or 17 I think, almost drown? Because of the 10-foot-tall waves! I don't think I've seen such monster waves on the PCH {Pacific Coast Highway} ever before! It was insane.

One of the monster waves. It was seriously scary.

Franco & I babysat for our niece Shek so we took her with us.
She was fine~sucking her thumb & enjoying the crash of the waves on the shore.

Franco with his Ray Bans. He looks mean.

Cutey face!

It was seriously a trip, but we had tons of fun & we loved spending time with Ela, Larry, & her peeps.

Have you heard the song "Baby Shark?" that the Young Women usually sing at girl's camp? Well, I made my own version:
"Baby Shek, do doo, do do do do doo, baby Shek, do doo, do do do do doo, baby Shek!"
Okay, it wasn't that funny, sorry...

Hope you had a memorable birthday, Larry!

Here's a video so you get an idea of what I'm talking about. I'm just not used to seeing waves that big! And there were little, little kids running around in the water...scary.
