Mission Beach

Posted by Alyssa

Mike and I had been dying to take the boys to the beach this summer and after all our waiting.....let's just say it wasn't what we had in mind. We took Connor to the beach for the first time at the same age as Jake 2 years ago and had the most perfect day. Jakie didn't like the cold water (even though we were there in the middle of the afternoon it was super cold!) and after a lot of crying finally stopped when we started jumping the waves as they came in. Connor was scared for his life and whenever some seaweed washed ashore close to us, he'd scream and run "It's gonna bite me!" and begged for Mike and I to hold him. Not to mention we all got hardly any sleep in our tent the night before and Connor hadn't eaten either dinner or breakfast (no matter how much bribing and disciplining we tried) because he was too busy playing in the mountains. So, we didn't show up at the beach in the best condition-plus we were all filthy dirty from the campout! But hey, at least we got some good pictures out of it! :-)

Here's a picture of Connor trying to get as far away from the seaweed as he can
