The Beach

The first full Day in California we went to the beach. Along with all the other people in the state! There are a lot of people...everywhere you look, drive, are. That is always hard for this country girl to get used to.
We went to Huntington Beach. The sand and water were beautiful. The water was cold but that did not stop the kids. They invented a game where they would stand at the water's edge and as the wave came in they would run from it. Pretty original.....at least they thought so.
Dad and Daniel buried Harmony and then Daniel got buried "first, after Harmony." Caleb liked playing baseball with Dad and Mom. Kelly got hit in the head with a plastic shovel by a little3 year old, german girl (who thought she was hilarious, so did me and the little girl's mom.)
Eva would crawl a few feet and lick the sand, crawl a few more feet and lick the sand. We let her crawl to the waters edge as a wave came in and then she screamed from the cold. I was comforting and holding her and looked up to see a life guard running into the water to rescue someone. He got out about waist deep look around and came back in. I think he was responding to Eva's blood curdling scream but didn't know where it came from. I didn't have the guts to tell him it was my sadistic game of "watch the baby react to the freezing cold water."
