Beach Day

We took the boys to St. Augustine beach last Thursday. Jackson hasn't been to a beach since he was about 8 months old and Emmett has never been. And after living in high desert/woodsy Oregon for two years I was craving some beach time! We had a great time, but it was a weird weather day for the beach. It was partly cloudy, and when the sun went behind the clouds it was fah-reezing! Then the sun would come back out again and it would be nice and warm. The water temp was 59 degrees, and J wouldn't go anywhere near it. He absolutely loved playing in the sand, though.


Emmett loved the sand, too. We could not get him to stop eating it. Yes, eating it. Must have been the texture.


If you look closely at that picture above, you can see his sandy face!


My Aunt Becky and Uncle Greg and cousins Graham and Gretchen were able to meet us there. It was so much fun hanging out with them! We laugh a lot together. :)


Jackson really loves his Aunt Becky...


And so do I! Look how hard the wind was blowing! And it was a wet, beachy wind so I had the beginnings of an Afro.



Afterwards, we all went to dinner at a yummy restaurant by the water in St. Augustine. We're still not sure where Phil was when this picture was taken!


Thanks for the fun day, Greg, Becky, Graham, & Gretchen!! We love you all!

I am sooooo jealous. Warm weather...exotic locale. It snowed here on Sunday night. But by the time you get back we may be up to the 60s. I guess I get my weather wish though, we are headed to Biloxi, MS in early May. So our little baby will be a Mississippi girl.
