Kite flying at the beach...

The wind was pretty good so not a whole lot of effort, just hang onto the string please.



Saturday morning and Sarah is off for RPM training, Mada is fast asleep, Zoe & Max have been up since the crack of dawn which means I am up as well because Max now goes into the refrigerator and helps himself.  

The plan for the day is:
     -Straighten up the house
           This is a challenge because as I clean one area Zoe and Max trash another.
     -Bank
           Easy I leave all the kids in the car (Mada in charge) as I run into the bank.
     -Gas
           Even easier, I can keep my eye on them all while doing this...
     -Toy Store  (purchase kites)
           This is the toughest one how do I keep them ALL together in their version of "heaven"???  
           The answer is....................................shopping cart!!!
     -Beach
           Piece of cake.....................

**Side note:     Did you know there is a "kite" season?  Apparently Spring and Summer is "kite" season here in California.  I thought this to be strange since the temperature doesn't fall below 60 degrees, weird!!

I wake up Mada to give her ample time to get ready for the beach but to my surprise she chooses not to come along.  She has entered the age of baby sitting (earning money) & staying home by herself and also the age where hanging with your parents isn't that cool!!  Now I'm at a cross road here I want her to come what do I do?????????  I decide to remove the option, I realize my mistake was asking the question "would you like to go to the beach?" what I should have said was "we are going to the beach!!!"  She is now being FORCED to come along...  Now I am in heaven because I have all three kids with me!!!

It turns out to be a sensational day at the beach.  Blue skies, sunshine and about 60 degrees, we have kites, juice boxes and we stopped for In & Out for lunch so our bellies are filled.  All three kids have there own kites (angry birds) and I am now receiving compliments from other beach goers on how cute the kids are as we fly our kites high into the air, walk the beautiful beach with waves crashing at our feet (water is chilli) in our rolled up jeans.


Mada, growing up sooooo fast and is turning out to be just like Mama.  In fact they started to share clothes and shoes...................... oye!!!


Zoe flying her kite, I can't believe she will be 4 in April (4 months away)!!!

Max...   My little man!!  Although if he lets go of the string attached to the kite one more time, which means I needed to sprint down the beach after it.... He might ended up in the ocean!!!





We love you and miss you all very much!!!!
