Going to the Beach

Saturday 7/19/2008 we decided to pack up the kids, and go down to the beach. All week the weather was really nice and sunny, and then of course when we decide to go to the beach it is a day that is overcast all day long. Although it was overcast, it wasn't cold, and the water was not freezing.
The boys had tons of fun. My brother Steven buried Christian in the sand. He was doing really good on the boogie board. Next weekend we are going to put him on a surfboard. He has been wanting to do that all year.
Jaidyn had tons of fun digging in the sand and getting it everywhere. He was so funny! He is not afraid of the ocean water, and he kept on running out in the waves to where Andy and my dad were standing. It was at least knee deep for them, so that makes it pretty deep for Jaidyn. Every time he would run out there he would trip and fall face first in the water and go under. Then he would get up, and start running again.
Gavyn and Cody were busy building a sand castle, and digging a giant hole. He had so much fun. He too loved the water. He was out there with us in the waves. At times they were kind of intimidating, but he stuck it out long enough, then retreated to the shore to get sandy.
Logan is a regular beach bum. He was swimming in the water like it was his own pool. He also did really good on the boogie board. Next weekend he will be taking on the challenge of the surf board too. He barely came out of the water long enough to get this picture of him.

I had to sort of let my guard down and realize that they are not babies anymore, and they are very good swimmers. They had a blast. We took their cousin Devin with us, and they all had a blast. They kept asking us when are we going to go back.

Hopefully this weekend will be better then last weekend. It will make it more enjoyable if the sun is out.
