Birthday Trip

I love birthdays...I love planning the parties, picking out everything, making the cake, etc. etc....as long as it is not my own birthday! I'm not sure what it is, I'm just not a fan of my birthday. So when Jason asked what I wanted, I replied with 'going to the beach for the day and then to Redamak's for dinner'.  He was kind of surprised and puzzled at the same time, but obliged to the odd request.  So, the day after my birthday, we headed to the beach!  It was a gorgeous day out and there were not very many people around (always a nice surprise).  Jacob is still not so sure about the water at first (I wouldn't know why a huge body of water that goes on forever would scare a kid.....)

And even getting in for the first time is sometimes a bit of a fight with him.

However, after a few minutes, some dunks, and some waves...

he's ready to go and swim 'all by himself'.  

It is apparently a tradition that whenever we go to the Dunes, the hill is calling out to be climbed.

All in all, it was a grand day and couldn't think of any two other people I would rather spend the day with than my two guys!
