Speed Blogging

Ok, the title of this blog may be a little mysterious to you. However, I can quickly shed some light on it for you. It's 10:24 pm. We did a lot of travelling today. Everyone else is in bed. I want to get this blog done quickly!! :)

So, here you go. We had a great time as a family this past week out of country waiting on our new visas to come back. As you can see below, we even had the opportunity to visit a beach.


The weather was not too hot, and the beach was not too crowded - pretty much just what we were looking for. It was especially interesting to watch Autumn. We did not realize it, but this was the first time she had actually been to a beach where she could walk out into the water. Needless to say, the first attempt was unbelievable scary to her. I've always tried to imagine what that must appear like to someone who is small and has never seen anything like it before.

However, Autumn quickly found safety up on the sand, and we all began building sand castles. It really was just a nice afternoon. Only one time did we get surrounded by people telling us how cute our children were. :)


The rest of the week we were just able to hang out. We ate pizza, hamburgers, ice cream, etc. The kids were able to spend time playing together at the playground. And, they even got to take a trip to Toys'R'Us. Isaac brought home an Indian outfit (he just loves pretending to be all sorts of things these days, and any kind of costume just makes it that much better) while Autumn chose some more toy vegetables for her kitchen set. They came with a knife and were stuck together with velcro so that you can pretend to be chopping them up. When we got back to the room it was quite interesting to see how they combined an Indian costume and vegetables to come up with all sorts of crazy ideas. :)
