Sunshine and Sunburns

Yesterday was fantastic. The sun FINALLY came out over here on the westside and it was WARM!!! I have seriously been sun-deprived. It was great to get out of the house and not have to worry about it going to rain. So off to the beach we went!! Our favorite spot right now is Picnic Point in Edmonds. We spent a good 3 hours there. The boys and Pete worked on building a sand castle while I occasionally walked the beach to look for shells. Every once in a while we'd take a break and run into the water. Usually Kristjan doesn't want any part of that, but for whatever reason we couldn't keep Kristjan out of the water! He had a blast running in to the water, then quickly run back out.











After we came home from the beach we decided to head to the outside pool for a little swim. We all got a bit sunburnt, but the cool pool water felt so good to us. We tried working on getting Kristjan to learn to swim. He made too much of a fuss so we decided we'd try another day. Clifford is getting better and better at swimming. Right now he's working on diving. We swam for a bit before heading back home to get ready to bbq some dinner. I watched the boys play outside while Pete worked on getting dinner prepped and ready. Of course, the day wouldn't be complete unless one of the boys got hurt.




The boys were literally on their bikes for only less than three minutes before they crashed into each other. Clifford immediately started screaming. I thought he had hurt his ankle since it was at an odd angle under his bike and he kept twisting it to get it out from underneath. But when I got him standing up I realized his ankle was fine but his mouth wasn't, as blood started pouring out of his mouth!! "Oh Great!" was my reaction. I sent him to Pete while I got the bikes out of the parking lot. It turned out Clifford bit his lip really good when they crashed. Pete cleaned him up and gave him a popsicle. Everyone eventually calmed down, and the boys went back to playing outside with friends and we had a 'picnic' outside for dinner. It was a great day, ending with a relaxing evening.
