Hitting the Beach

Porter has been wanting to build a sand castle for a long while now.. he saw it on curious George and so he wanted to do it too. In Utah we don't have much sand... so he was really excited to go to Huntington Beach. Theo was a bit cranky that day.. he just wanted to be held the whole time and he didn't even touch the sand or the water. He was a little feverish and just cranky.. it was all from teething we later found out. Cory and I took turns holding Theo while the other entertained Porter.

getting all the dirt for our sand castle.

Patting down and forming the walls

we were getting water to put in the middle of the sand castle

Ta da!

My Boys. Nothing cuter than a daddy playing with his kids. Makes you just fall in love with them all over again.

Cory and Porter had lots of fun playing tag with the waves! They would run it and when the waves started to come porter would turn and run shrieking up the beach as fast as he could. A few times he tripped and fell and then he would spit for a few minutes and tell me how yucky and salty the water was. Needless to say he never went in above his knees!

I love this picture.. the beach, the ocean, and my boys. I was lucky to get a shot with no other people in it.
Cory and Porter having a sand fight. I have no idea why they started this, but they both seemed to enjoy it. I myself am not a fan of sand thrown at me.
