Annenburg Splash Ponds

The city of Santa Monica has this really awesome beach club called the Annenburg Beach House that is open to the public to use ... for a fee. It's really great because has though it may not be as exclusive as the Bel Air Bay Club, where Andrew and I got married, the facilities are really nice and clean. And it so happens to be my good friend Gretchen and her two kiddos (KaraLin and J.J) most favorite summer hideout! Sadly the Annenburg will close it's doors in a few days until next summer so this past week, we joined the Hoovers and some other sweet friends for one last play date at the Annenburg Beach House.

I wish summer could last forever ...

Friends in the splash ponds ...
Do you see Sophie?

Didn't think so ..
This was about as close as she would get to the water ...

Instead, she sat on the sidelines and ate fishies ...

And pretended "drying off" with J.J.

My sweet Mommy friends ...
Beth, Sarah, Lisa, Charlotte (Me!) and Gretchen

Blake was there too!
I didn't forget him!

Afterwards, Sophie insisted on wearing the sunglasses ...
Until the next time we're at the beach!
