Surprise of the Summer

These pictures are terrible, but you'll get the idea! My biggest surprise of the summer is that the children decided that they like the ocean.

If he isn't playing in the surf, Isaiah likes to go out "deep" with Aliza or Aunt Meghan. He will put the puddle jumper on, but only where he thinks no one can see him. It's so funny! I think he must be embarrassed about having to wear it, but he knows that it gives him more freedom.

Aliza and Anna are together a lot in the water. Josiah runs around with Gideon boogie boarding or sitting up on the sand with a group of boys.

I don't think I'll ever consider myself a great beach mom. It is definitely easier to be an enjoyable mom when the children are having fun!
