January Beach Day

We were supposed to meet a friend and her little boy at the beach, but she couldn't make it. That didn't stop Koa and me from heading out! The weather was beautiful: high 70's, no clouds, and a light wind. Koa played and played and played in the sand...funny how kids don't mind being covered in the stuff! And there definitely is no such thing as a "sand free zone" anymore! I packed a picnic lunch and ended up feeding Koa's lunch to him bite by bite as he played (his hands were too sandy). After lunch, I dusted him off as good as I could and took him for a long walk which resulted in a Koa nap. Koa played some more after lunch and then we headed home. We ended up getting a four hour beach day in--I was thrilled!

And he's off!

I love that he had his snuggly with him while he played in the sand!

(By the way, that man in the background had a little dog in the baby stroller that he was wheeling around behind himself!)

Nap time!

Checking out a helicopter...once it flew over he wanted "more" and I had to try to explain that I couldn't make it fly over again!

We definitely missed Daddy on this trip...hopefully the weather will cooperate soon on a day Joey has off!
