Venice Beach and Santa Monica

Mel and Nick came for a quick weekend visit so we decided to do some sightseeing.  First, we headed to the skatepark at Venice Beach.  The boys were entranced..so was Dada
Then Ryden had to bust out some sweet moves also...
My mom got the boys a Build-a-Bear that came with Skechers shoes and a skateboard.  Well...Trev now uses that skateboard as his own...mind you, it is a little itty bitty skateboard that he can barely fit his two feet on.
Fake bail
We walked around for only a few minutes after that and decided that Santa Monica would be more our style.  So we took one last pic by some wooden skateboarder dude and got back in the car.
Santa Monica was more like it...because they had RIDES!
The Ferris Wheel is one of my personal favs.
And how excited was Ryden when he found out he was tall enough to ride the roller coaster!  So Auntie, Nick, and Dada rode with him..
While we were waiting for the roller coasters to finish, Grandma took Trev on a ride that he was less than thrilled about.  Teresa told me he was upset from the get-go.  He got mad when the guy took the ticket so they could ride...then he got mad that he had to wear a seat belt.  His look below pretty much sums up how he was the whole ride...
Slight smile...
Not impressed....
Much better with a lollipop...
He even picked out one for his bro...
Lollipop dance!
We took one last final walk on the pier before we headed to the airport to drop off Auntie and Nick.
