A Day at the Beach... in January!

Our way down the hill to the water!

We sometimes get these fluke warm spells, called Santa Ana's, and I love it! It was a perfect 80 degrees with a light breeze. I dropped everything I should be doing and took the kids to the beach! We picked Jayne up from preschool with the car loaded and lunch packed and had a GREAT afternoon. We just went to the beach down the street from our house and it was so perfect! Last summer (ok, it was just a few months ago) I didn't let Ryan really get in the sand cause he was still little and not totally sitting up or crawling great. Now he's almost 1 and he LOVED the sand. He sat there playing in the sand the entire time we were there. He used his little shovel and got sand all over him. He touched it, tasted it (only once and didn't like it), threw it up in the air, and wiggled his toes in it. It was so cute to watch. We all needed some sun after being sick most of December and November with colds. What a perfect day!

Throwing the sand over his shoulder

His one taste test

They are de-sanded and waiting to go

He looks like a big boy! And yes, we turned his seat around about a month early. He weighs enough and legs so long he didn't fit great turned around. He LOVES getting to watch the movies with Jayne now and see me while driving.

You have warmer temps there then here. Crazy! The weather hasn't been so bad here though either. Nice you could take the time to go to the beach!
