Day at the beach

It's official.  Summer has finally arrived!  We spent yesterday morning at Newport beach enjoying the sun, surf, and half naked, pasty white people lounging all around us.  Yikes!!  I suppose it's admirable that some are so comfortable with their bodies.  I'm of the opinion that no matter how fit you are, a string bikini just isn't all that flattering. And, lets be honest. Most of the people who wear them are pretty far from fit. But that's another post for another day.  We had a blast.  I can't think of anything more lovely than the sound of the surf moving in and out. Add to that an ocean breeze, and there you have it.  A perfect day. Notice I didn't say a perfectly relaxing day.  Chasing four little ones around a very large beach isn't exactly my idea of relaxing.  But very fun none the less.  We saw a pod of dolphins (they swam right by us), a sea lion (also swam right by us), and lots and lots of pelicans. Yes, in case you're wondering, we like it here.

The tables have turned. You all say hello to summer and warm beaches while we begin to feel a cooler breeze blow. Even the pool is unattended! Kind of makes me sad.

How Fun! It looks like the perfect time of year to enjoy some time at the beach. The kids look adorable! The only sand Karlie gets to enjoy is the sand volleyball court at the park. I guess the only plus to that is that we don't have to worry about seeing too much skin.
