Summer in January.................



On Saturday we took advantage of the sunny 70 degree weather we have been having and decided to hop in the van and take a drive towards the coast. So with the windows rolled down and the music playing we went California cruisin in January!
The kids wanted to find tide pools but after 2 hours of driving and no luck finding them we decided to stop and just hang out at the beach for a few hours. It was such a beautiful day relaxing by the ocean and listening to the kids torture each other in the sand
sounds of the waves.
(these photos are not that good. I didn't have my good camera with me and just happened to have my little camera in the car)
such a gorgeous day at the beach

It's hard to tell by this photo because Faith's hair was so wind blown, but I had it cut a few days ago and had them really frame her face. She has not been wanting me to put bows or hair clips in her hair as much :( so she needed a cut to keep her hair out of her face.

Faith found this large stick that she played with forever............



Reed was the only one to brave the cold water

Faith thought she would give it a try........

but she didn't like it too much

ahhhhhhh brotherly love

Don't ask!

chilling out

Reed really needs a haircut

Faith leaves her footprint in the sand

And just on a side note...how is it that with only spending a few hours at the beach I have about a weeks worth of laundry to catch up on!

It was "warm" here in NY over the weekend: 31 degrees! It's been in the teens here and the kids were finally able to go out and play in the snow - your kids playing at the beach, mine playing in the snow :)
