Laguna with the kids

Weeeeeeee!

First off you can thank B for all the beach pictures because a) I can't be trusted with my camera on this beach while being pregnant b) I can't take multi-task well enough yet to watch kids and take pictures.



This was the first day and as soon as we got to the beach (after 30 min of looking for parking) they headed straight into the water.



They sat on the rocks and climbed around and looked for anemones and crabs.

That picture is not included here because it happened to include me in it. Me in a bikini and a very unflattering camera view of my oddly shaped body. It must have been the camera view because I'm sure I don't acutallly look chubby. Not me. Not 7 months pregnant.



Both of them completely exhausted themselves carrying heavy buckets of water up to our sand projects.

Jordyn was in charge and the design and Alex the designated water carrier. All this splashing and digging and climbing and exploring and water carrying made for some very hungry beach-goers so we sat for lunch.



This picture was taken from the apartment when I was packing their lunch. You see, earlier that day we had gone to the store and let them pick out some things to eat during the weekend.

I asked them to pick some lunch meat for sandwiches. Jordyn picked Turkey Bologna and Alex picked Liverwurst.

Liverwurst.

They love liverwurst. Are they not sooooo related to B?!



I was really impressed with these the catch these two spear fisherman made! I mean, it's no liverwurst but it's pretty darn interesting.



Afterwards they went back to the sand projects.

Digging holes. Who knew this could keep people young and old occupied for hours on end.



When we got home after 5 hours at the beach we started to prep dinner. These are the veggies that are going into the salsa. Mmmmm, tomatillo.



Here B is showing the kids how to slice and peel the avocado. Jordyn was a great help and was B's sous chef for the weekend.



We sat down to a dinner of carnitas tacos, fresh made salsa, veggies, beans and all the fixin's. They absolutely loved it. These kids will eat anything... and eat it with vigor. It's incredibly gratifying to see them on second helpings and to hear their oohs and aaahs.

Have you had a day in the sun lately?
