Beach Day

This weekend marked the annual weekend in Southern California where the weather is absolutely amazing and the rest of the country is furious that they have decided to live elsewhere.  Based on the wonderful weather and a text from Kristen on Saturday afternoon, we decided that Sunday afternoon would be Connor's first trip to the beach.  On Sunday morning we assembled our beach gear (I remember this in the past being a simple backpack with a towel and a football; we now have towels, umbrellas, tents, more towels, snacks, sippy cups, etc)  After his 11am bottle we headed to Hermosa Beach to meet up with Kristen, Tony, Odyssey, Harper, Mike and Jessica.  Connor got decked out in all his beach gear and was ready to hit the sand.  After hanging out on the towels for a little while we took Connor down to the water and watched the waves crash.  He thought that Mom running and getting her ankles wet was hysterical, thought the waves crashing was pretty cool, and was definitely curious about what the funny feeling stuff between his toes was.  He did not however, in any way, shape or form, enjoy cold ocean water running over his feet.  We'll need to remember that for next time.  We spent about 2 hours hanging out with everyone down at the beach and it was a great afternoon.  We can't wait for more summer days like this, and maybe next time the water will be a little bit warmer.
