  • Drove to "real" beach today versus the strait which is nice, but just
    doesn't count.  ROFL.   Normally this would take 1 1/2
    hours.  Now, it takes 35 minutes.   This I like!

    This is one of our favorite beaches, and we hadn't been there since
    Rainee was 2.  LOL   It was a long crooked drive in the
    past.
    I actually have a group picture of us standing at this beach...when
    Rainee was "just" walking.   Probably shared it here. 
    LOL

    But in the meantime here we were earlier today.  I love the timer/tripod with my camera.  *Grin*
    Jer LOVED the soft sand, and had a great time actually walking (holding
    hands most of the time.)   The other kids had a lovely time
    building terrific sand villages.   Hmm, can't get the curser
    to drop below the picture, its a quirk of firefox.   So my
    blogging about pictures is slightly outa order you have an imagination
    right?  LOL

    Jer was as I said holding hands and walking all over he usually prefers
    to be carried, or cruising on furniture.   But the sand was
    apparently to his liking.  And he walked between us a
    lot.   I went to take a picture and said "Jer come to
    mommy,"   And he did...letting go of daddys hand and
    walking.  He ended up walking about 20 feet as I kept taking 2
    little steps backwards before he decided he was done with that game and
    sat down.    Its his farthest walk yet *grin*

    As I mentioned each of the kiddos built sand villages very elaborate
    ones which they described in great detail.   This is Kaylin
    and Zeria's joint contribution.


     
    I actually took pictures of all the kids creations, but don't want to
    stuff this blog up with too many pictures.  It was just a lovely
    day, we needed a all family day off.   And so
    badly.  

    And this, this is my unique family picture.  *grin*  The shadows were fantastic, and I just had to try.

    And as I mentioned earlier the tripod/timer shot.  I'm very happy
    with it, and may use it on our Christmas cards....well our after
    Christmas cards ROFL.   We shall see.  The only bummer
    is Jer is looking the otherway can't have everything can
    we?   And how funny is it that we fussed and fussed over what
    nickname we would use for JEremiah, and then one just came natural to
    us, and completely accidental.   We call him Jer or Jerbud
    most of the time.  HIs other name is BrotherBear.   Not
    sure it just seems appropriate.   

    Anyhow tomorrow is a busy day.  We're driving in to do the last of
    our Christmas shopping (hopefully)  And Rob & I are going to
    drop the kids off at my parents, and go see Narnia (provided the lines
    aren't too long.)    It will be a LONG day as the drive
    itself is just a bit of a killer, but thats okay.  We need some us
    time BAD.   The next day will be bad too as we have church in
    the morning, and the SS Christmas program in the evening.   I
    really don't want to do the hour drive home for 4 hours, but also don't
    want to hang at somebody's house for 4 hours.   So, unsure
    what we're going to do.   I guess we'll just be burning miles
    in the van.    In other words probably I shall be scarce
    until MOnday.  Such is life.
