Who can lay out in December?

December 30, 2006 -Even though we don't get to enjoy the beach as much as we would like, I love the fact that we can go to the beach and enjoy a beautiful day by the water in the middle of winter. I guess that makes up for not having the opportunity to enjoy the gorgeous fall colors that everyone else gets to see.

After years of waiting and wishing Aaron finally bought a boat. It is a nineteen foot, center console. He mainly wanted it for fishing, but we try to go out as a family whenever we can. Today we went out with Jonathan and Val and my parents. The guys tried to get some fishing in, but they didn't catch anything. The kids and I made a turtle out of sand. Alexys helped put the eyes on him. She is a water girl. Nathan is not a fan of the water, but he loves to pick up and throw the sand. On this particular day he got into the sunscreen and you can tell by the look on his face that he knew it was a 'no-no'.
