Day Four

I know you guys are probably tired of hearing about our vacation but.. tough. Just kidding. If you are though, you will be glad to hear that we are headed home tomorrow. So only one more fun filled day update.

Due to T's sunburn, we shook it up a little today. This morning after breakfast we went to the outlet mall and did a little retail therapy. We didn't buy much though so it was just a little. We also had some Ben & Jerry's ice cream for a snack. So. Freaking. Good.

After lunch we had naptime. Surprised? I'm guessing not. After that though, we went out to the beach. We had more fun tonight than the rest of the trip on the beach. We flew kites. Well, T flew his kite. I couldn't get mine off the ground so I took pictures. Anyway, T flew his kite, I took pictures, K ate sand, and D ran in circles screaming with no one to interupt. After a bit, D and I went down to the water line and jumped over the incoming waves for awhile. You would have though the child was at Disneyland. He had so much fun standing ankle deep in the ocean, jumping like a frog.

Once he got tired of that, we went up to the pool and played. K had more fun there than a seven month old should. We bought a little $3 floaty for him earlier today and he thought that was just way too cool. He enjoyed playing in the running water too. He actually kind of liked being splashed in the face. Silly boy.

Mr. D was the surprise of the day though. We put his arm floaties on him and he literally took to the water like a fish. Apparently the floaties were just the confidence he needed. He was jumping in and swimming around like a big boy. He even remembered to hold his breath when he went under. When did he get so big?

Eventually it started getting cold though so we headed upstairs to shower and go to dinner. After an excellent seafood dinner overlooking the beach, its time for bed. Tomorrow we head home. Its bittersweet though. I will be glad to have our stuff back but I will definitely miss the ocean. We talk about moving here every time we visit. Maybe someday we will do just that.
