Beach Day

Samantha has  been asking to go to the beach forever!!  I mean, FOREVER.  She starting asking last summer, but I was preggo half the summer and had a newborn the other half, so the beach was not exactly where I wanted to be.  Anyway, we decided to take the kids on Thursday because David was still off of work.  Besides taking 4 hours to get there (The 91 was at a dead stop!) and  it being a little cold, it was a good time. 

Samantha was so excited to build sand castles and collect sea shells.  She was not excited, however, to  go in the water...or even too close  to it.  Caleb loved everything about the sand!  He loved to walk in it, dig in it,  and of course, eat it.  Yummy!

We were only there a couple hours because it was getting cold, but made the most of our trip and visited David's sister who lives just a few minutes away. 

I love being able to  spend quality time with my little family. And watching  Sammie and Caleb as they discover new things is so sweet.  It's funny how simple things, like going to the beach, are so different and so amazing when you look through the eyes of your children.
