Beach Day

Esther hangin' in the sand.  Right before this picture was taken she was face down in the sand.  I think she was ready for a nap.

The kids playing SO well together.  There was no knocking down of castles or anything!

We had a GREAT day yesterday at the beach.  Morgan was visiting from IN this weekend, and Josh was at conferences all day yesterday, so we took the kids to the beach.  We packed a lunch and plopped our stuff on the beach a little after 10.  It was gorgeous, the water was warm, and the kids were awesome.  I thought it was going to be fun, but 45 mins of uninterrupted sitting time for me was a huge surprise.  Morgan was a big help, of course.  Taking the kids in the water and playing in the sand with them.  But most of the time, they just wanted to be alone with their new friends they made.  I tried to go out to the water with Garrett and he wasn't interested in playing with me!  I thought we'd be leaving around 2 because the kids would be getting fussy and tired, but we didn't leave until 3:30!  Even at that time, they were still really good!  I was so relaxed, I was ready for a nap!  It was a great day - hopefully the next time will be just as great!
