West Coast Jouney: Part 1 - Ocean Fun


So, to tell you I am a little daunted today. Malcolm and the girls have went back to the grandparents this weekend and before Malcolm left he told me he would love it if I got a blog done of our trip out west. Sounds easy, right? Yeah, well, I would love to have you look at all the pictures in our trip folder...whew!!! Malcolm did almost all of the editing and I get to come up with which pictures, you or I (later) will like to see. Its a tough problem, because for me each picture shows a hint of personality in each of the people in it and I want to see all of them. Then there is the perfectionist in me who sees flawed pictures in all of them and I don't really want to post any of them.

So what's a girl supposed to do? Well, I am going to take it bit by bit and try to post a few different sections of our trip to give you a recap of our trip. If you don't hear from me in awhile after a post. Send me a comment and tell me to get my butt in gear and write some more! Here goes nothing! One of my favorite parts of the trip was the beach outing. It was so fun being on the beach, flying kites, running through the waves and I even got to go for a mile or so run barefoot in the sand...it was so cool!

Zach-Man!- I get such a kick out of the way he crawls...I know a lot of kids crawl this way, but Michaela and Danielle never did, so it is extra fun for me!

Kite-Flying Fun!
 

A fun day was had by all, I believe, but I especially had fun and sincerely wish we had the ocean near us. We tried flying a kite since we got home and because of the bluffs/valley the wind was so inconsistent even though it was strong that we couldn't keep it flying. Unlike the ocean, where I think we could have ran for miles and miles and it would have stayed up! Loved it!
