What a great night...

Wow what a great evening we have had... It was so hot and sticky at work- I work in an office so go figure. All I could think about was taking a dive into the ocean. I wanted to yesterday when we were at the beach but I had both kids by myself. So as soon as we ate dinner (which Marc made since he was off today) we put on our suits and grabbed a towel and walked down to the beach. It was a perfect evening!!! The water was around 80 degrees and there was a few families still down there. We took turns playing with the kids and taking a swim. I swear that water takes away any stresses you might have. It is soooo relaxing!

 The kids love the water too! Abby starts cooing and jumping up and down in my arms as soon as we get close. She loves being in the sand and crawls into the waves. She is fearless! Chase loves everything about the beach- EVERYTHING! The best part of his night was the dogs that were on the beach. People only brings their dogs on the beach after it clears out. I really wish I brought the camera tonight...

Tonight is just what I needed. It breathed some life back into me. Just time with Marc and the kids- no TV, computer or any other distractions. We rarely get any time together since Marc is working so much. It makes me wonder why I don't bring the kids down more often in the evening. During the day gets hard b/c of the heat and the crowds. That is usually why I can't wait for September. It has become my favorite time of the year. Warm weather, warm water, no crowds... :)

I know how fortunate I am to be where I am. I try to share it with all that are close. I invite everyone down as often as I can. Not all take me up on it- it is easy to take it for granted and to get caught up in daily life.
