Jesse goes to the beach

Jesse visits Natural Bridges State Park with his aunt

One of the day's rare peaceful moments

If you've read the first post about our Santa Cruz day over at my own blog, then you know Jesse didn't have an especially fun day with us on Monday. But he did have some quiet happy moments sitting in my lap at the beach, as these pictures show.

He drank six or seven ounces of formula, he watched his cousins dig in the sand, he looked at the water, and he had a good long nap in the baby carrier.

And he screamed a lot, too, but between the wind and the waves, it didn't seem so bad.
