Day at the Beach

This was so fun! In September 2010 we took the boys to the beach for the first time, it was part of our trip to Disneyland. Since the boys were 2 we have tried to take them every two years to Disneyland, but it hasn't worked out that way. We took them when they were two years old, four years old, then seven years old, and we will take them again when they are 10 years old. these pictures are pretty funny of the boys because they look so tiny, but they had a good time at the beach. The water was really cold so they didn't really want to get in to the ocean, but Amber did and had a great time. I got in a little bit but it was too cold for me too. I guess the middle of September isn't really the best time to jump into the water but it is a great time to go to the beach because the weather is perfect. During that one day at the beach we built a sand castle which you can see the pictures above. The boys helped out to make that thing castle and we were trying to make it as big as possible the problem was we didn't have that many tools to build it with. We buried the boys in the sand which they thought was pretty funny and we blew up the inflatable alligator. They love to sit on the alligator and wait for the ways to come and take them out to sea. I can't wait till next year when we take all the kids I think they will have a blast!

“Our most important and powerful assignments are in the family. They are important because the family has the opportunity at the start of a child’s life to put feet firmly on the path home. Parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents, aunts and uncles are made more powerful guides and rescuers by the bonds of love that are the very nature of a family.”
