More beach pics

Who doesn't love a trip to the beach? We had so much fun and only came home reluctantly. Jadyn absolutely loved it and as we packed up in the car to leave today, turned and said to the beach, "I will miss you, ocean." Karina enjoyed it, too, though she wasn't too excited about the cold wind.

Jadyn was so funny - when the waves would come creeping towards us, she would yell, "run, run, run!," turn around, and sprint full speed for the sand dunes. Usually she didn't stop for at least 100 feet (no exaggeration) before turning around to make sure the water wasn't still chasing her down. We'd just stand there laughing at the spec of Jadyn we could see in the distance.

Karina, on the other hand, dove full body into the surf when Daddy let go of her hand for a second. She whimpered for only a brief moment for Daddy to tell her it was okay, and then jumped right back in for round two. Watching your kids soak up new sights and adventures with wide eyes is a joy that cannot be fully explained, but only experienced. How cool!

The girls and their creation...






Wouldn't you be proud, too, if you dug a hole you could fit in?



First times often take a litte convincing...




But they're always a little easier when you don't have to go it alone
