Beach Boys

We enjoyed our last few days of summer at the beach. We've been back to the beach since school started and we plan to go throughout the year, but sometimes we feel this sense of urgency that we have to get there. I was thinking about it the other day, and I remember the days when we lived in much colder climates like Spokane and Utah. Whenever there was good weather, Joseph would insist that whatever was on our to-do list could wait, because we needed to enjoy the sunshine. There are days here when I feel the same, and then I have to remind myself that the weather is nice most of the time. I have plenty of time to enjoy the goodness of it.

The girls were also with us, but they were boogie-boarding and playing with sea plants that had washed up on the shore. No time for pictures.

We had driven separate cars on this day, because I had gone running before we met up. When it was time to leave, I took the girls home with me and Joseph stayed a few minutes longer with the boys. Joseph went in the water for a second with Aaron and didn't realize the tide was coming in. When he looked back, the water had reached Isaac and knocked him over. He was MAD! This boy LOVES water, but not on those terms. Now he tries to stay as far away from the waves as he can.
