I love the beach!
Seriously, love it!
We had a great day at Pacifica.
The kids loved it!!!
Am I getting the point across?
I LOVE THE BEACH!!
Alison spent most of the day digging in the sand--
happy as a clam!
Samantha immediately ran into the water!
She could hardly contain her excitement!!
And then got knocked over by a wave and came back with her clothes dripping wet.
Alison said, "I made a sandcastle!"
Ha! So funny!
"Dude, take'n on the jellies! You got serious thrill issues."
There were jellyfish all over the beach.
Luckily, they were dead and not dangerous anymore.
Sam just ran in and out of the water all day.
Oh wait....I forgot....
she came in for about 5 minutes and dug a hole in the sand.
Jake always loves being outside!
A little father-son moment.
Love my little guy!
Run, run, run!
Splash, splash, splash!
I taught Sam to dig up sandcrabs. She thought they were so cool, but Alison was so freaked out.
Jake was so intrigued by the feel of the sand in between his toes.
The whole day was magical for Alison.
I think she was smiling non-stop.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PICTURE OF JAKE!
Jake was tired, but happy.
We made the mistake of letting Sam stay in the water too long. Jason finally went out and got her and she was dangerously cold. She couldn't open and close her hands and couldn't stop shivering. I took her to the warm car, got her out of her wet clothes, wrapped her in two big towels, and it still took a while before she was warmed up. Then as we drove away, she ate and ate and ate. She had an appetite like I've never seen from her before.
Funny thing though, she said to me, "Mom, next time, can you bring a swimsuit for me." I had to remind her, "Sam, I did. You just didn't put it on."
Like a good mom, I made sure to put sunscreen on my kids. Like a typical mom, I forgot myself. This seriously hurts!

What a FUN day!! You're such a great mom! Your pictures are truly fabulous and I'm so glad you guys had such a great day. Your girls make me laugh. They're adorable! My Josh has the same hat as Jake. Does Jake like wearing it? Josh is constantly trying to pull it off. Cute boys.
I remember trying to take 4 kids to the beach when you were about 20 months... Jeff and Logan headed fearlessly into the water, and John would not have any of that and tried to run back to the street, you cried and wanted to eat sand. After I was able to round up the kids and go home, I vowed never to do that again on my own(without Kirt). He was always working so we hardly ever went to the beach...
I miss the beach so much. I think that was one of the hardest things about living for 6 years in Colorado. I felt so claustrophobic without the ocean nearby. Now that we are closer to the beach again, I cannot wait to take my kids. I wonder how the water over this way is? I bet since it's the Atlantic ocean it's probably pretty cold. Beautiful though!
