Beach Day!

You gotta love living in Southern California when it's 80 degrees on a February 13th afternoon and warm enough for a trip to the beach. I mean, who wouldn't love that? We had an unseasonably beautiful weekend and we decided at 1:00 on Saturday to pack up the kids and head down to the beach. We whipped up some turkey sandwiches and snacks, threw the sand toys, beach chairs and umbrella into the trusty Explorer and went to the beach. It was gorgeous. The water was pretty darn cold but that did not stop the kids from frolicking in it and did not stop Maddie from practically submerging herself in it! It was super fun and really got us all excited for summertime. We took some fun pics of the kids enjoying themselves...
I love this picture of William. This is his "tough guy" face. I think he picked it up from Mikos. :)
I love how kids have no issue with sitting in and rolling around in the sand and getting it all over themself. They don't care if it gets in their bathing suit or on the beach towel. They just love the simple pleasure of playing. Nothing bothers them. It's such a beautiful thing.


William was obsessed with picking rocks and chucking them into the ocean. We had to keep telling him to watch out for his sister!
