Yesterday, Nate and I decided we wanted to take the kids to the beach. We thought it would be fun for Sadie, if we invited her cousin, Austin, to come along. The two of them were SO cute together! They watched Surfs Up in the car and the two of them were laughing hysterically at each other, the whole way. Once we got there, Sadie took a minute to warm up to the idea of "being dirty". She is 100% girl! We finally had to put her sandals on her, so her feet wouldn't be touching the sand. But it didn't take her long to realize how fun it was! She and Austin loved filling the bucket with water and playin in it. And Austin was not scared of the water, at all. Which is surprising, since it was his first time at the beach. He loved jumping over the waves! Sadie had this weird obsession with drinking the salt water! She loved it! Which is funny because I'm always saying how she's my salt girl! She would much rather have popcorn, than a cookie. And when I gave her a cookie, at the beach, she went over to the bucket, soaked the cookie in the water, and then at the whole thing! It was seriously grossing me out! On the way home, Austin said, "This is the best day ever!" And he was so right! The day could not have been more perfect! The weather was beautiful, the water was warm, and no one cried, not even Charlie! It's days like yesterday, that make me SO grateful for my life!
