  We flew away this morning.  The sun was shining, and I was afeared it wouldn't stay.  So we were out of the house and at the beach by 8:30.  It pays to be in pain and up early.  *snort*

   

  

  The waves were splashing quite nicely, and we of course had the beach to ourselves, well us the crabs, seagulls, and even two sea otters.  The otters unfortunately were too far away to take pictures of.

  

  We climbed the rocks, and watched the waves, and breathed in the early spring air.  And I admit shivered a bit.  It wasn't terribly warm.  But oh man how nice to be outside--toothache and all.

  

  As I was using my telephoto to take pictures of the kids.  I loved how I realized they were all busy checking out the world.  They weren't afraid to climb high and just stare at the beauty around them.  They have learned about nature, and like to point it out whenever there is something unusual.

  I love it that my husband brought me a baby dried starfish.  And Kaylin brought me a snail shell, and Rainee a flower.  These are the precious things.

  

  

  The good news is the sun is STILL shining.  I went and sat on a blanket out in it for almost an hour before the shade over took my corner and it got too cold.  I have soooooooooooo missed the sun!
