The Beach

The happy couple. Still happy after 12 years of marriage and 6 kids.

My Dad and Mom, Rick and Penny. Still happy after 33 years of marriage.

The beautiful Sunset.

Another picture of the sun setting.

No, not the bitter cold water!!!

What is this new stuff?

I much prefer it here, up on the beach, away from the water.

That feels so cool on my feet.

And in my mouth.

Ocean, here we come

Beckham did much better this time.
He actually spent more time in the water, then out.

That water is soooo cold when it first hits you.
Don't you love my husband's butt white body?

I love this candid picture.

Soon after checking into the Hotel on Saturday we suited up and headed to Huntington Beach. Brent really wanted to watch the sun set, and my Parents were thrilled with that prospect. It was a little chilly. We had fun non the less. Brent and Penny had a great time boogy boarding. Jaren really digged it as well and was excited to brave the waves, and sharks? Grace HATED her first experience at the beach. She's not to kean on water to begin with, so this was not her favorite. Although she did love experiencing the sand between her toes and in her fingers. She even had to experience the sand in her mouth. She is such a tactile little thing.

I have to say, the beach is SO romantic. Even with my 5 kids screaming with excitement. The sun setting over the beach is something everyone should experience once in their lifetime. I love the sound of the crashing waves, the feel of sand gooshing through my toes, sounds of thrilled voices in finding a sea shell, screams of joy from just escaping an oncoming wave, the smell of the salt. There's nothing like it.
