basking in the winter sun...

Here we are at White Plains Beach (or, the campground right next to it) with Airi and Elika and their family. The weather has been so nice, we've been wanting to hit the beach for quite some time now & since Airi suggested it, we decided to go! The waves are always a bit bigger and stronger on the West side, so we didn't go swimming...just played in the sand and got our toes wet. And since we got there after 3 pm, the sun wasn't too hot. Fun was definitely had by all!
Jolee is still getting over her sniffles, so she didn't go in the water at all. I let her roll around on the blanket until she discovered the sand & kept wanting to eat it...mostly I held her-and even walked up and down the beach with her. My exercise for the day. :)
Just a few other pics of Daddy and Kela & then Anna.
He's always the one in charge with making sure they don't get swept away...








And then, at the end of the day...Anna slept like this until around 11 pm. Finally woke her up, ate some (extremely late) dinner, took a quick hot shower and went to bed (at 1 am).
Whew! What a long day!

That looks like a lot of fun! I'm glad someone else doesn't keep their kids on a strict naptime/bedtime schedule. I figure they will eat and sleep when they really need it!

Oh, how spontaneous of you guys. Nanea has been dying to go to the beach but Nate has been Mr.Work, work, work lately. Maybe this weekend we'll make it. Good to see the girls getting so big.
