Life's a Beach!

The weather here has finally cooled off enough to actually enjoy outdoor activities so we decided to go to the beach today. It was a beautiful beach day. We met my mom there and and we even managed to get both kids in the water. This was quite a feat considering neither of them thought they liked the ocean. Allison would always complain it was too salty and Daniel was scared of the waves. When I first took him into the water he got a little freaked out but I basically told him to deal with it and as soon as he was used to the water temperature he would enjoy it. For the first few minutes he cried and pointed to our beach chairs, but soon enough we were jumping in the waves (which were quite small) and he was having a blast, as was Allison. Jeff was enjoying the calm waters as well:


The kids also had fun looking for shells:
And Daniel posed for a picture:
I said "Why ya so serious? Give me a smile!"

Silly little man...
After we returned home, Allison disappeared for a little while. Apparently she was busy writing about her day. Here is her version with a lot more details:
