I'm melting...

In this AZ heat!  Okay so swimming lessons ended yesterday, and I am so happy.  6 weeks was a whole lot of public pool.  Every year I think, "I'm never signing them up for this many swim lessons again..."  But every year I do it.  Mostly because I REALLY want them to learn to swim, it gets them out of the house once a day, and because we get the lessons half price.  Thanks City of Mesa!  

We went and visited Josh's family last weekend in 29Palms, CA, and took a day trip to Del Mar Beach, on the Camp Pendleton Marine Base near Oceanside, CA.  It was SO nice.  I wish I could move there.  The weather was beautiful and I do love the beach.  I hate how the sand ends up everywhere though.   

S wasn't sure about the beach.  First he wouldn't walk on the sand, then he was throwing the sand.  First he hated the water, then he loved it.  It was all very confusing.  One thing he DID love was his cute cousin K, who is 2 months older.  He couldn't get enough of that girl!  Kissing cousins!  (Notice my new hat?  Wore the ugly straw one for awhile and then saw this beauty at Wal-Mart for $7.  B told me he liked this one better.)  

Look at this little boy...he is irresistable.  He had lots of fun running away from the waves.  Back and forth...back and forth.  And of course he loved playing in the sand!  Do you like his hat?  He bought it with his very own dollar at the Dollar Tree.  He was very proud of himself.

Then there's B, I could not get this kid OUT of the water.  He played by himself (with supervision of course) in the waves for hours.  Threw a fit when we had him come up to re-apply sunblock or to eat even!  Told us, "I want to go back in the water, that's the reason we're here!!!"  

Anyway, it was a nice trip.  We got to meet my BIL's fiance, spend time with family relaxing, and of course eat good food!  I am lucky to have such great in-laws.
