A Warm Beach Welcome

Our first Sunday morning in California we were able to return to the church we have attended for the past two summers.  I cannot express to you how lovely it was to see familiar faces and hug folks we haven't seen in months.

Post church Jason and I were super excited about Sunday afternoon naps.  Unfortunately none of the kids were.  Jason suggested we give it up and make a quick trip to the beach.  We went a bit further north than we have in the past and the weather was wonderful.  The warmest sunniest day we have ever had on a Pacific Ocean beach.

We didn't really have any appropriate beach wear (still were waiting on our moving truck), so this is how the boys began.

And well...

Note the two who ended up filthy and shirtless, and the one that didn't.  Yup, that's about right.

At first they at least attempt to avoid the soaking.

Also, Miss Lydia's first visit to the beach.

She was unimpressed.

We have already had more beach days.  Even though the beach experience is different it is still wonderful to be able to escape for an afternoon to the sea.
