Beach Babies

A few weeks ago our friends were moving so we picked up their son Mordecai and went to the beach. Sometimes I get frustrated that the beach is pretty much the only thing to do here but the kids don't care. It was a great day for the beach. Alekisio is getting really great at floating and swimming. I think the goggles must have a secret power because before he put them on he would't even try floating. We let him choose a pair of goggles, went to the beach, and now he won't stop. He's still not confident enough to venture into deeper areas where he can't touch the ground, but it won't be that long, and I don't mind because I don't have to worry about him getting too brave and going too far. He played with Mordecai, after the initial fighting and aggravating was finished, and there was a man there that tried to show them how to ride a wave to shore. Alekisio's still working on that one, he was frustrated because he wasn't able to start swimming in time to catch the wave. Isabelle just loves to dig in the sand and play on the shoreline. She's getting chunky and I love it. Her little legs are so chunky and I love it when she runs.
By the end of beachtime they were ready to shower and snack. Mordecai now lives farther away so we don't see them as much. We miss you guys!
