We Miss You Beach!

I would like to think that if we still lived in Newport that we would be at the beach everyday, which probably isn't the case, but being away from it I realize how much I miss it. I miss being able to just go on a walk and have the crisp salty air in my face. The breathtaking views of that the beach and harbor would offer. I also miss the sand in my toes and in all of Kaden's crevices, somehow it makes its way everywhere. I miss you beach!! Well today we had to pay a little visit to the beach, not Newport but Oceanside. It is a little closer and offers not only beach but fun cousins to play with! We were quite a sight. I'm pretty sure we took up half the beach with umbrellas, strollers and baby gear. There was a cute pregnant couple enjoying their lunch sitting below us and I was hoping that we didn't scare them. I guess she was only having one baby and not five of different ages!! My little beach bum is getting so big. He is a boy now, no sign of baby left in him! Sad, but also exciting to experience the next stage. We haven't quite hit "The Twos", so we are still in good spirits!Maddy experienced the beach in two different ways today, happy playing......and oh so happy sleeping! Look at those cheeks. Good thing Jamie was nice and comfy.Kaden LOVES Jamie and so do we!! Not only is she a HUGE help whenever she is around but she is always so sweet and fun to be with. She is the lil' sis I never had!What cha talking about girls? It is too early for boys! They already play so well together!! I think it is safe to say that Gracey likes sand!How relaxing Felicity! I'm sorry that it only lasted as long as the picture took, you gotta love active toddlers!!!McKenna, you're too cute!! Surprisingly sandless!

It was a great day at the beach and ended with the best frozen yogurt I have ever had in my life!! Berry Swirl is a must!! We managed to get through the day with no ant bites, bee stings or meltdowns! Good day!! We miss you beach!! Can't wait to see you again!
