Well about noon yesterday we decided we wanted to go to the beach (Why not?!) so we loaded up and stopped by Target to get some cool sand toys and we headed to Ocean Beach. Oh goodness. the parking there is terrrrrrrrrible. We couldn't find a spot! California folks are SO serious about their beaches. They must've gotten there super early for a parking spot. So then we went to Mission Beach because its just 3 miles from there. We get there and it's ridiculous there as well!!! After driving around for 20 minutes we decided to go back to the Bay we had passed on the way there. I've never been to a Bay but it looked just like the beach except no waves! So we FINALLY found a spot & had a TON of fun!! I find myself sooo content when I'm with my little family, spending quality time together. There's nothing that makes me happier. And to see Kinsley and Josh hold hands and walk down to the water together... Tearrrr! ;( I just LOVE my family soooo much!! God has SPOILED me! Me & Abby stayed under the umbrella on the sand and I let her have a little too much fun. I found her chewing on a piece of broken beer bottle glass.. Ughhh! Thank goodness she was okay. Then I let her crawl around and she ate a lot of sand.. oops. But she was having so much fun I couldn't help but let her enjoy it!! Thennnnn she had little broken seashells on her mouth and on her tongue so Mommy stopped the fun right then! She's still sneezing out sand :)
This morning we went to church & afterward Josh & Jacob decided we should go fishing! I was all for it (not the fishing part) but the being outside and together as a family part. :) I had no idea there were "lakes" just right down the road from their house! Called: Santee Lakes. I've never seen anything like it before but it was really neat and we had a lot of fun! BEAUTIFUL day outside and we're all a little burnt (except for the girls because I SPF'd them; THANK GOODNESS!) It's hard to explain what it looked like so I won't attempt to. I have pictures of course so I'll share them when I'm done typing! Although I did regret moving us out of our house, we have had SO much fun since we've moved down here on May 3rd I'm definitely saying it's worth it. I hope we have lots more days just like today. It felt like we were in Alabama because it wasn't over crowded like the beaches usually are, and it was just calm and quiet, and green grass/trees. Just had that Alabama feel, and we all loved it. Josh wanted to go again tomorrow but I told him I'd rather go to the beach, I won! ;) We're going to celebrate Memorial Day at Ocean Beach tomorrow. It's a beautiful beach with huge waves!!
Uncle Jacob got Kinsley some food to feed the ducks.... She got rid of that quickly :)
Daddy got Kinsley a Dora Fishing Pole (well, it's a beginners pole, it doesn't have a hook *thank goodness* and it has a Pink fish on the end of it. Sheeee Loveeed it!)
She was so serious! She caught so many fishies ;)
Ohhh Look at her go!!! Perfect Cast!
Aunt Elizabeth & cousin Gunner were just hangin out next to us :)
Reeling in a big cat fish!
The man I'm proud to call mine :)
Goofy Girllll!! Always playing with something!!!
Look at her go! Nat-u-ral!
Loveeee it.
Josh & Jacob fishing!
She has fists full of dirt and rocks. She said it was food for the ducks. I didn't argue.
Feeling like we're in Alabama
"ONE picture! I didn't come here to take pictures, woman! I came here to fish!"
That was the cute little island we claimed ours. Such a fun day!
So anyway, I hope your Memorial Day is spent with the ones you love & let's not forget the Fallen & their families and of course the brave men & women off serving our country!! Josh was in Iraq this time last year so I feel especially thankful to have him home with us to celebrate this year!! Love you all!~! Be safe.
