Beach Bash

It was a beautiful day on Saturday.

We were invited to a birthday party

at Huntington Beach.

I've never been a beach

person only because of

all the sand and mess.

After I had my kids it

didn't change how I felt

about the beach. Not

only did it get sandier

and messier, I am always

nervous about losing

them. Saturday was

no exception. I wasn't

particularly looking

forward to going,

but after being

there with great

people and enjoying

the freedom of

everyone watching

everyone's kids, I

eased up. The party

planners had the

great idea of the kids wearing wrist

bands with their

cell phone numbers

on them along with

the tower station

number we were right

next to.

Brilliant!

While we were

there, as you can

see, the boys had

a blast! I've slowly

changed

my mind

about the beach

just after seeing how

much fun they had.

Matt works out there so he

even got to stop by

and the kids got to

go in the ambulance

and check it out.

What an added

bonus to a wonderful

day. Needless to say,

the car ride home was

peaceful.
