Our 1st Beach Trip

Our family

Last weekend we took the kids to the beach. This was the first time any of them had ever been there. The boys were quite excited, and particularly BA had lots of questions. Probably the craziest one was, "Mom, will there be any seals there?" I think he fully expected to see sharks and killer whales too. I tried my best to answer most of his questions, but finally I just had to say, "Son, I think you may be disappointed." Anyway, the time finally came to go. The sad part was that is was a windy and cooler day, so we all went in our regular clothes instead of swimsuits. They were all very excited as we walked up to the shore line. To make a long story short, we told the kids they could get their feet wet, but that was all. A wave came in and took BA by surprise. Before we could do anything he was laying in the water. I had NO clothes for him. Great. Thankfully, Aunt Jennifer had a spare t-shirt in her car. It didn't take too long to recognize that BA was going to freeze in the breeze if we didn't leave soon. So, to sum it up, we spent a whopping 40 minutes on our first trip to the beach as a family. BA loved it, CJ likes the idea of it, and EE cares nothing about anything but the birds.

Poor BA. At least it looks like the 40 minutes you were there were fun. :)
