beach day





This is why living in Hawaii is so great! The days we get to go to the beach...year round (not to rub it in but sometimes it's easy to focus on the negatives...being far from family, the expense, the heat, the bugs, etc.). It's been a while since we've gone as a family to play at the beach for the afternoon because of the winter season (I know you single digit weather people are probably rolling your eyes...but it is cold at the beach in the winter here...at least the water is). This is the first time Jude really had the full experience of the beach on his own without me having to hold him the whole time. He felt so left out by Jason and Ethan that he would try to crawl in after them...or look longingly from the beach. But once a wave knocked him over he became a little more cautious. The sand didn't seem to bother him...he was covered from head to toe...and even ate a little. Ethan had a blast boogie-boarding with Jason and then floating around in his blow-up ring while Jason boogie-boarded. All that to say, I think I've realized that I have two little fish that love the water and the beach.

You mean three little fish? Actually, 2 small and 1 big. The water looks so inviting. We are actually having warm weather this week for spring break. We went to the park today and lasted about 30 minutes (including eating lunch) before Tyler said he was bored and ready to go home. Plus, Kyle had to use to bathroom and they were closed for the winter. Well, I tried. Can I help it if they get bored at the park?:)
