Fun at the beach!

We had such a fun time at the beach this weekend. My family was in town from Texas so we decided to tag along with them to Half Moon Bay. Erin was a little afraid of the water at first, but after taking daddys hand and running in, she loved it. She giggled as the waves "chased her". Lee and Alexandra had NO PROBLEMS getting right in the freezing water and body surfing. April was still pretty scared, especially after she got knocked down by the wave. KC and the kids dug a big hole and decided to bury Erin in it. She was a little scared but KC kept reassuring her that she would be ok. The part she hated most was "rinsing off" all the sand in the ocean. It was SO COLD! Payton LOVED the sand. At first she stuck her feet in the sand and kept wiggling her toes around in it. After a while I let her sit on the towel and touch the sand with her hands. She was really intrigued by the feel of it running through her fingers. I decided to be brave and put Paytons feet in the water fully expecting her to cry because of the cold. Surprisingly she did great. She wasn't sure about her feet sinking in the sand, but still kept a smile on her face. She loved standing in it. It was so good to see my family I wish I had more time or lived closer. Maybe some day I'll win that battle! HaHa.
