Beach

Well we had our first beach trip on Wednesday!!  I forgot my camera so no pics:( sorry.  It was my dads birthday on Wednesday, he would have been 52 this year, and so I thought what better way to commemorate that occasion than to spend the day at his FAVORITE place.  It's weird I wasn't close to my dad as most of you know for the last 7 or 8 years of his life but I still find myself remembering him at weird moments.  Most of all I wonder what kind of grandparent he would have been.  I often wonder if the kids would have been the one thing he needed to get his life on track.  I know he would have gotten such a kick out of them.  I catch myself every now and then laughing at something they said or did and thinking that would have made my dad crack up or that was something my dad would have said/done.  Most of all though I feel sorry for my kids.  They have alot of uncles (blood related or those we have chose for them) and they are all great influences and presences in our kids life but they don't have a grandpa on either side of the family.  I know for me my grandpa (on my moms side) was one of the most special relationships in my life and I miss him still today, but i have sooo many great memories and those are memories and a relationship that my kids will never have.  Well enough serious again.  Long story short the kids had a great time at the beach Jailyn LOVES the water!  She probably fell face first into the waves 50 times and still got up every time and jumped right back in!!  Marcus with his water phobia spent most of his time up by me and auntie Bonnie in the sand but he did play at the edge of the water a little in the end!!  Next time I'll remember my camera because there were a lot of great shots I missed this time.  Well that's all for now!!  Until next time!!  LOVE TO YOU ALL!!! :)
