Hiking Torrey Pines

这个星期日我们全家去Torrey Pines州立海滩爬山，这一天非常暖和，在海边玩儿非常合适。我们先是爬了一个半小时的山，安娜表现非常不错，这一个半小时都是她自己走的。我们一边爬山一边看日落，然后又在海边玩儿了半小时，三个孩子玩水，挖砂子，高兴得很。

We went hiking at Torrey Pines State Reserve on Sunday. It was a very warm day and it was perfect to visit the beach. We first hiked for one and a half hours. Anna did a great job since she walked all by herself for the entire time. We then watched the sunset and played at the beach for about half an hour. All three kids enjoyed playing in the water and digging holes in sand.
