Life's a Beach

The kids saw the ocean for the first time today and and it was a hit. The surf was high today and it didn't take much for the waves to knock them on their butts. Laguna Beach is beautiful and the weather was perfect. We are all a little toasty from missed spots with the sunscreen, but otherwise unscathed. Kinley didn't want to leave the beach--her mantra became, "Just one more wave, mom!"

After stopping for lunch en route back to Phoenix, Kinley announces that she didn't feel so good. Cooper, who was sandwiched between his sisters, saved the day by grabbing an empty cup just in time. Thank you, Coop!! Then, Kaiya chugged 24 oz. of water in the middle of the desert between Palm Springs and Phoenix and announces she needs a bathroom. We pull off on a dirt road off the highway in the 116 degree heat so she can water a cactus and all I could think of was the desert scene from the movie Vacation. I laughed for miles!

We don't head home until Sunday, so if any of us can get out of bed tomorrow or off the couch, I'll post another update. :)
