Today at the beach.

We have been going to the beach for the last couple of days. The weather has been wonderful and the beach is beautiful. Although Evan calls it the pool all day long. Today we went with a friend and her 4 year old daughter, the boys had a blast. I packed peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, apple slices, water and some candies. Evan wanted candy as soon as we arrived at the beach, because as he says 'I have been sooo good.' Then we got around to the apple slices, the PB&J were last. Nick just carries it around the beach and by the time he eats it, it has to be crunchy! I didn't even put a suit on Nick today, he does not like the water at all. Today the waves were not too bad, but it still took Evan several hours to warm up to them, then of course it is time to go and he says no. We walked along the beach and Nick walks up in the soft sand, to make sure he does not get a foot wet. I lather them with sunscreen before we leave the house, maybe that is why so much sand sticks to their bodies, either that or the somersaults they were doing. It's a long haul down to the beach with 25 things to carry, and we have to get by the poison ivy. But at least I do not have to carry either boy down the 75 steps, they do great there. As soon as we hit the sand, Evan's Crocs are off and he is running. I am sweating my ass off and trying to find a spot to unload 25 lbs of stuff. Nick just lumbers along, no hurry to get close to the water. They are covered from head to foot most of the day, I don't even try to rub the sand off of them. When I picked Nick up today it was like a giant luffa! Well, not giant he only weighs 21 lbs. My baby boy is turning 2 tomorrow, how did that happen.

Enjoy the pics, I sure enjoyed taking them.
