Santa Monica Pier

we finished up our exciting day with a thrilling trip to the santa monica pier. It was fun watching Molly really get into the scary rides (more roller coaster! I want to ride the "alligator"!). And I'm pretty sure this was Clara's first experience with amusement park rides (beyond the lovely rides at Fairy Land). She was thrilled and eager to give each one a try (although every time she saw the beach she begged us to let her go in the water). Everyone was appropriately sad when it was time to go.

And we'll be appropriately sad, but ready, to go home tomorrow.
