Grandma, Kevin, James, Miranda, and I went to the beach and it was actually fun! We had the lowest possible expectations that we'd spend the entire trip trying to keep Miranda from jumping into the ocean by herself and having tantrums when we tried to hold her or something equally horrible (she's very independent). Haha, but really, Miranda spends most playground trips trying to run out of the playground into the parking lot. (James was our
good baby it turns out.) She was actually a little scared of the ocean and happy to stay away unless I held her. When she was on the beach she shoveled sand into a frisbee very happily! James was also good! He enjoyed both the ocean and the sand and followed all our rules! We might even go back soon.
Just getting comfortable.
Girls in the shallow end, boys on the deep end.
Grandma made me so happy by taking these photos!
Fun!
Life is good.
The beach is rocky, but we have a rake.
Making it rain on the castle.
Check out Grandma's chair. Apparently
canopy chairs are the trendiest thing on the beach and lots of people had them. Pretty smart and no umbrella installation needed. Miranda's shorts-on-the-head look is less stylish but easily achievable.
Loves Grandma
My hands and my heart are full.
One little asterisk is that to get the five of us in our sedan I had to sit wedged in sideways between the two car seats. I love how the kids both acted like I was making them uncomfortable. What age does that self-awareness thing kick in? Oh, 25? That's too bad.
I make it look good.
