Beach Day

Saturday was g.o.r.g.e.o.u.s. so we decided to take advantage of the day and head to the beach. First thing in the morning we went to the track. McKay ran another 1 1/2 -2 miles while Jordan ran 5 miles. Then we made lunch and headed to our favorite beach in Santa Cruz, Twin Lakes State Beach. It was a little cool when we got there but it warmed up. McKay was 'really really happy all going beach' and couldn't wait to get there.

Apparently, peanut butter and jelly tastes even better on the beach (if that is possible) because after every bite of his sandwich, McKay turned to me with a big grin and said 'good peanut butter n jelly sandwich Mommy'. I Love it! McKay knows how to spell his name and loved having Jordan write it in the sand. When we ask him what it says he'll either say 'me!' or 'Kay!' When we went back to our blanket he kept saying 'me go?'

McKay also enjoyed searching for sea shells and actually found quite a few. This is the first time he has taken an interest in sea shells and I think it is because he re-discovered his very first book, a touch and feel book, that has sea shells in it.

When it was time to go, McKay frantically kept saying, 'no ready no ready' so we had to bargain, one more bucket, one more dump with your dump truck etc. Today he wanted to go back to the beach again. Fun memories!

Here I am at 37 weeks. May is just around the corner!

Ok Maria I wanted to ask you before the baby came and you were swamped. Where did you get his bathing suit? They cost like $50 on the internet and I am sure you grabbed one on a steal. I want one for Ariah. Plus I can't believe he still fits into it!
