exhausted and sandy

It was a good day. I am sitting here very tired, very sandy, and slightly sun burnt. My good friend came in for CT to make me go out and have some fun. We too the kiddos to the beach and, man, it was fun. I am such and indoor girl, but my kid is made for outside. He never wants to leave. In fact leaving the outside results in a full on crying and screaming episode. "Oooooooooot sigh Oooooot sigh Ooooooot sigh no no no no no no Ooooooot sigh!" (He doesn't have many words, but the ones he has are all action for outside oriented - go, up, down, ball, car, no, outside)

The day was beautiful, sunny and hot. The beach was rocky. Nothing better for the kid than rocks and lot of them. The only thing he loves more is water. The ocean was freezing, but he wouldn't get out of the water. He was shivering, shaking, turning slightly blue, but wouldn't get out. I carried him out, but it was not his choice. Luckily the rocks and the water made him tired so he had an amazing nap on the beach. We followed it up with huge amounts of fried foodstuffs at Woodman's. The kids crashed on the car ride home. I am downloading over 300 pictures as I type this. I am feeling drunk for the sun and the air and the good time. But I am feeling more centered and able to tackle more things. I am feeling grateful, for my friend for making me have some fun, for my kid for making me an outdoor girl, for everyone who supports me and my little family both inside and outside the computer.

What a great day! I am so happy to hear you sounding so in love with life. Leave it to the little ones to make us enjoy things outside of our comfort zone, huh?
