Enzo woke up in the middle of the night yet again, and we couldn't get him back to bed. So he came into our bed at about 5:AM and fell asleep right away, for another two hours of much needed rest on all our parts.

We spent the early morning packing up the car and getting some breakfast at Whole Foods. Then off to the beach.

It was hot down there today (but not as hot as Pasadena) and the parking lot was crowded, but we finally got a spot. I pulled Enzo in the wagon down the the waters edge, where we set up camp. Within 10 minutes a family of 10 parked themselves 5 feet in front of us. We pulled up our stakes and moved 15 feet to the right where there was a big empty spot.

Enzo and I dug the deepest hole ever. About as deep as Enzo is tall, so I guess not that deep. We spent of most of the time jumping into the whole, and running back to get snacks and drinks from mommy. Enzo was a little tired from his lack of sleep last night, so he wasn't running around insane like he usually does. Right before we left, we got in some good wave jumping, and letting the retreating waves sink our feet into the sand.

Enzo fell asleep on the way home, and woke up the minute we stopped in the driveway. He we'd put him down for a proper nap, he would have slept for an hour, so he was a bit sour about getting less than 45 minutes of sleep. After a few minutes of "watch something, calm down", he sprayed the hose in the backyard for the dogs. Then we set up the octopus in the front yard. He got the biggest kick when I made the Harriet and Betty balance on top.

At dinner, I taught Enzo how to say, "my name is enzo koji. i come in peace", a line of Buzz Lightyear's. We went for a long hot walk to tire out the dogs. Enzo was really tired and ready for bed when we got home.
