Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk

While we were visiting my family in California we took my brother and sister, Erik and Maren, to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.  They had never been before so it was fun to take them somewhere new.  We had a good time going on rides and walking around.  I was very grateful that it was not super crowded while we were there.  Alden liked seeing the ocean again (even though we didn't go close) and it was fun to let Alden go on his first ever ride by himself. I love my brother and sister and I am so glad that we got to spend time with them!

All ready to go explore and ride the rides!

Alden was very curious about everything around him.

This ride was fun for Erik, Maren and Me but we had some girls sitting across from us who had very high-pitched annoying screams.

Drew and Erik had fun going after each other in the bumper cars!

Pretty view of the beach and Drew got his Dolewhip.

Alden's first ride by himself.  He was a little concerned at first but by the end he loved it!

We made Erik and Maren go on the logger's ride.  They did get a little wet but not too much so. Drew also got to play his arcade game and try to shoot out the star on the paper.
