at the beach

Our first trip to the beach was pretty exciting. Kimee hasn't been since she was 11 months. It was the first time for Audrey and Maddi. It was pretty cold and windy, but I made them take off their jackets for a few pictures.

Audrey stayed away from the water, but was having a ball making a cake.


As we were getting ready to leave, a huge wave came up maybe 10-20 feet higher than any wave since we had been there (about an hour). We were all turned away from the water, getting ready to go and boom! Dave noticed at the last second and yelled, "Watch out!" Thank goodness for that, I reached down and grabbed my bag which had the digital camera, camcorder, and iTouch in it. With the other hand I grabbed Maddi. She still got soaked, but she was the only one of the girls that didn't cry. Kimee and Audrey started wailing. Audrey was terrified. Kimee was mad. Audrey lost her new beach shoes and gained a tremendous fear of the beach. She wouldn't go near it again, and cried when we did.

  1. Since Leon grew up around the beach, it's important to him to visit it when we are out in CA. Unfortunatly, the boys haven't been as eager to get in there and fully experience the ocean. I think it disappoints Leon to see his wimpy boys complaining about the cold, salty, sandy, and often intimidating experience. We're inlanders and always will be, I guess. The ocean is a fun place to visit, though, with interesting things to see and do without getting all up in it. Love the pics.
