Beachin’ it

So the kids and I had a great day today.  We spent the a.m. w/ one of my oldest and dearest friends Martine and her two adorable kids Lucas and Nash.  We ran around the mall and then hit up Chic-Fi-La for some lunch.

And thennnnnnn…

We hit the beach.

We all know Ri has a love/hate relationship with the beach.  This summer has been tricky for her b/c she loves to build sandcastles but is afraid of the big waves.  She talks a big game and for the last few days has been saying to me: “I LOOVEEE the beach.  I’m gonna swim in the oCeAn.”

Not.

See for yourself:

We get down to the beach and Jack heads right for the shovels and begins to dig, his usual M.O.

Meanwhile- Ri sits herself behind the chair and proceeds to cry.

And cry.

And pucker her lip out, just to make sure I knew the drama was kicked up into full gear.

And just for kicks she cries some more…. hummmm…..

Jack was oblivious to his sisters shenanigans and played in the ocean.  (I made him stay on the edge b/c the riptide current flag was out- super big nasty waves).

Back to behind the chair drama queen Riley.  Soon- the tears began to fall.

And fall some more.

And then poof: she decided to play in the sand- in front of the chair.

And then after an hour and a half in the sand we showered off, had a snack and hit the pool.
