OUR TRIP TO THE BEACH!

So five days in California was not enough. We love the beach, and we are people watching lovers.  We just happened to book our trip the same time as the Huntington Beach surf competition.  There were lots of people!  Jeff and I were shocked at how nice everyone was to us.  No one could believe that we were so young with such a big family.   Obviously they have never been to Utah.   Our family was a novelty.  Paisley was so dang cute!   She loved her first time at the beach.  She was literally frolicking in the sand.  This could be why everyone was coming up to chat.   She ate so much sand, that for days it showed up in her diaper. (if you know what I mean) Ellie, and Addison had just as much fun.  I was a little nervous about the girls swimming in the big waves, and getting hammer slammed.  But they held their own, and learned to respect the wave.
  I feel bad for Jeff when we got home, because I truly went through depression, and I was such a brat for a day.  OK maybe two.  If he would have told me we were moving to Cali I would have started packing.  Maybe the depression was coming back to the real world of laundry, cooking, Jeff going back to work, and all the other crap I have to do!  We both decided that next year, we will stay two weeks at the beach if not more.   I love my little girls, and I'm so blessed that I have such a beautiful family.  As long as I'm with them, it's all good!
