Silly Faces with Ben

Paradise Cove Beach

Derek recently found out about a really neat beach restaurant in Malibu, so we took Grandma and Grandpa there today and spent the morning at the beach! Janie LOVED the water. She just wanted to stand and get splashed by waves over and over again. When someone got tired of holding her up and tried […]
