The Beach!

Yesterday, Nichole, Kenji and I took Micah and Julia to the beach since it was such a nice day outside. Micah had been a couple times before, but he never really liked it before and this was Julia's first time there. Micah did much better at the beach this year than last. He was still a little bit afraid of the water and it took him about an hour to warm up to it, but he eventually worked himself up into getting his feet wet! He had a great time splashing in the water and making a sand castle with his Auntie. Julia absolutely loved the beach!! She went into the water with Kenji as soon as we got there, and we couldn't get her out! All she wanted to do was let the waves crash into her - and every time they did, she would start laughing. We eventually had to make her get out when she was so cold she was shivering!! She also had a great time up on the beach playing in the sand. By the end of the day, both kids were EXHAUSTED and covered in sand - but it was a great day!
