Life's a beach

What a great weekend. The weather is so nice again, very warm, but not hot, just perfect for being outdoors. So Saturday morning we packed up a picnic lunch and headed out to Fort Cronkite beach.

It was so much fun. All the kids are at the stage now, where they can enjoy it in their own way. Asia has passed the crawling and eating sand stage and is happy to sit relatively close by and just dig forever and Arran and Bryttain as well as loving to dig, had a blast playing chicken with the waves. They were so cute, they really are best buddies and play so well together, I just love to watch them. They would inch closer and closer to the water's edge and then as the incoming waves got nearer and nearer, they would spin and yell and scream as they raced back up the beach towards us. They did this over, and over, and over again. It was their best workout in months.

James and I were able to just lie there and watch them, without hovering incessantly, it was perfect. The simple things can bring so much pleasure. Just seeing the grins on their faces as they would run and jump, was contagious.
