Beach Day

Kim invited us to join her at the beach and I'm so glad we did! I was just planning on me and Paige going, but Jerm took the day off so we had a family beach day. We've never done that believe it or not. We usually just go for an hour or so and Jerm surfs and I walk/run and play with Paige at the park. We met at Del Mar beach...the best beach because there is a big grassy hill so you can be at the beach but not have to mess with the sand! We set up camp on the grass and met them there around 10am. Kim has a 2 year old, Siena, and a 6 week old, Oliver. Yes, I said 6 weeks! She looks amazing and Ollie is such a trooper. Here's a cute pic of Paige saying hi and smiling to Oliver...so sweet We played on the grass, at the park and took the girls down to the beach to play in the sand for a while. Siena loved playing in the water! She kept going deeper with Kim and didn't want to get out. Paige was very courageous in the beginning and then when the waves came she wasn't quite so brave! While we were down by the water with the girls, Jeromy ran up to the market to get some beers for the boys. We ate lunch and then walked around for about half an hour with the girls in the stroller and they both fell asleep! They were pretending they were going to sleep in the tent...so sneaky We were so lucky! I couldn't tell you the last time Paige fell asleep in the stroller...well, other than Disneyland. Anyway, the girls slept for about an hour and during that hour, we sent Jeromy back to the market to get us some wine! We ended up hanging out until 5pm...that's 7 hours at the beach! Here's a pic of Jerm changing her diaper...slowly... Here's a cute pic of Paige modeling Kim's sunhat Paige and Siena played so so good with each other. I was really proud of Paige. She's learning how to share...slowly...and when she doesn't get her way, she hits. But, today she didn't hit once! Yeah, maybe we're moving past this phase!! She was also really sweet to Ollie. She wanted to touch him and play with his hat and was super smiley when she was playing with him. She seems to love babies as long as I'm not holding them! We had such a fun day and I'm glad we got to the beach on Friday because I know it had to be super packed on Saturday and Sunday. I love the beach!
