So Billy took a half day on Friday and we loaded up the crew and headed to the beach. We can't say this is the first beach day, because the official first was back in December when Mimi and Papa were here, and we "tried" to take some photo's of the babies on the beach when they were about 1 month old, so they were a little too young to enjoy it...:)
With the exception of of Daila's major meltdown because mommy didn't realize it's NOT a good idea to put sunscreen on the babies hands while lathering them up (note to self) and she spent the hour before going to the beach crying her eyes out with sunscreen in them, it was a flawless day! We thought for sure we'd be doing a panicked evacuation at some point due to sand in the eye or something but it all worked out. Granted we only stayed about an hour, but it was enough time for both babies to experience the amazement of sand between the toes and they both really seemed to be in awe of the ocean as they gazed silently and still as the waves crashed in on Laguna Beach. Daila was the most giggly we've ever seen her (and that's saying a lot because she giggles all day) and Kai was all over the place trying to get in the sand and loved standing up on the cooler to get a better view of everything.
We even got to finish off the day at my favorite mexi joint that I use to go to every Sunday when I lived there years ago. We got the best spot on the patio and the babies had their bottles while mom and dad had shrimp quesadillas and a couple of beers. Such a perfect day, we can't wait to do it again!
