First Beach Trip of the Year!

A couple weeks ago, the boys and I headed for the beach at the invitation of my brother and his family, (Thanks John!) . We stayed with them overnight in their hotel in Depot Bay and had fun playing at the beach, swimming and hanging out. The weather was beautiful and even warm , especially considering it was early March!

Running from the waves!

It's so nice to have someone to hang on in times of trouble,
especially when that someone is Uncle John

We stood and just watched the waves crashing against these rocks for quite some time.
So powerful!

Nik had fun dropping off the "cliff" over and over

Morgan keeping little Lukey warm and away from the dreaded waves.
(Apparently he still remembers last year when he was swept off his little feet and rolled a few times by those mean ol' waves:( Where was his mama??!)

Swimming fun!

Lukey was having a ball wrestling Uncle John. Uncle John was having fun as well, until Luke decided to STOMP on John's eye!

On the way home I decided to make one last stop at the beach. It was great for about 60 seconds, then: sand in the eye happened and there was large amounts of screaming to be heard.

Sand in the eye aside, I hope to make it to the beach again soon! It is simply relaxing and beautiful there and I love that the boys can just run and run and run......and then sleep. :)
