Beach day

I took the kids to the beach today for some fun in the sun.  Unfortunately...someone forgot to inform the sun. It was VERY foggy.  I still managed to get some cute pictures of them though. 

(It's pretty easy with such good looking models!)

Beach day

The boy thought Flat Stanley needed to go to the beach and see the "sea waves." I asked if Stanley was going to get a tan and the boy looked at me like I was crazy and said "that makes no sense." He cracks me up!

This is where I live

I can't believe how beautiful our little town is. We can drive 10 minutes in any direction and have a beautiful view. Driving most directions, we can find a beach, or we can go the other way and head up a mountain. It's amazing. I'm lucky to live here with my children and husband whom I adore. (The white spot in the middle is a flock of seagulls.)

Life's a beach....

...and that's a good thing. We are so lucky to live on a peninsula. This beach is about 4 minutes from our house. We had a little dinner picnic, laid on the blanket looking at the sky, dug in the sand, threw rocks into the ocean, and walked out to about our ankles (it was COLD!) I love that we are equally surrounded by mountains. It really makes this place special.

Beach baby, beach baby...

The boy loves the beach. He was so excited when I told him it was beach time again. We went out for a beach play date with a lot of moms and kids from all the wards in town. It was HOT. The kids had a blast playing in the ocean, chasing crabs, building sand castles, and collecting shells and rocks. Baby girl was not all that thrilled. She was hot and sweaty for the first time in her life! Next time we will remember to bring a beach umbrella for her (and Mommy!) to sit under!
