A Day at the Beach ...

Sun, blue skies, crashing waves ... all three boys are in their happy place today!

The Sun Returns

Another December day at the beach, after the sun returns ...





Sawyer is content to swim in the shallows between the sand bar and the bank ...



Xander is not ... he wants the BIG waves ...







Connor is still content building in the sand ...





He tries the water, but decides it's still too cold ...



Sawyer and Xander both LOVE the big waves crashing into them ...



Trying to get all three in one beach shot is nearly impossible these days (Connor is closest, Xander just above him further out and in white so harder to see, and Sawyer is the head to the right) ...

More Beach Adventure

What to do when it turns cold for a day or two ... watch movies on Mom's iPad (Secret Life of Pets) ...





Decorate your bedazzled Christmas tree ...



Snuggle and / or fight in bed ...



Watch the moon rise and shine on the ocean ...



Watch amazing sunsets ...



If you're Sawyer and Xander, say who cares that it's only 60 degrees and the water is probably about the same ...





Xander especially loves the bigger waves with the north wind ...





Connor says no thanks to the cold water and choppy ocean and opts to build in the sand instead ...



Josh and I take turns watching the daredevil twins at the edge of the ocean ...



Connor gets just his feet wet to get water for his sand castle building ...
