Day at the beach

We spent a day at the beach last week...it was so much fun. It was 90 degrees at home in the valley, so we thought that the beach should be warm, around 70 or so. Unfortunately that was not the case, as the beach was in the low 60s. We had a great time playing with the kids and visiting with our friends. Konnie has always loved the beach and it appears "her boys" do too.

Kaden has a great time crawling all over. In fact, he crawled all the way to the water and would have kept going if Kraig and Konnie hadn't stopped him.



Kory had a great time too. He loves crawling in the sand. This is especially great considering that he used to have some fairly significant sensory issues, and many textures used to bother him and he would quickly pull his hands away from things. Kory also had a great time rocking on his blue dog...




Konnie loved running around, blowing bubbles, roasting marshmallows over the fire, building sand castles, and playing in the water. I really think that the beach is her favorite place on earth.



We decided to put the boys in a play pen, to keep the wild boys contained, and build a sandle castle with Konnie. Kraig was really getting into it. He is a very serious sandle castle contractor. He took his folding shovel and dug a big area out and put the loose sand in the middle for construction. It was a lot of fun and turned out great.



What a wonderful day!!!
