Sunny Beach day

One day we had a sunny day so we went to the beach, James wanted to go diving too. so he took all his gear and we went for the day. i was cold (ofcourse) but the kids weren't. they played in the sand, built castles, giant holes and played in the water. while we were there we saw a little seal laying on the beach. at first we thought he was dead but he moved around. he was very close to us and the kids went to touch him. he was fine (maybe a little sick) so that was cool. James, dove alittle but couldn't see much because a storm had just gone through there. Sophia wanted a starfish and lily wanted a crab. too bad the crab got out of the bag when james resurfaced. but sophia got a beautiful blue/purple starfish which we put back in the water. (live free and in the wild). a good break from the same old days.
james taking lily over to see the seal.
Lily and Sophia's "castle/cage" for her stuffed pet turtle she brought along.
sophia being cute and silly
Sophia and her pretty starfish.
How she got buried, all by herself.

Our little pet seal.
Beautiful waves.

How fun! We miss being semi-close to the beach...can't really make a day outing of it anymore. I had no idea you were expecting. Are you having a boy too? As far as names go, yes, we do seem to think the same! Our little guy is going to be Jack Simeon (Sim-ee-un). Two good family names. It's a good thing he's a boy too because we're plum outta girls names.
