She will not tan.

Sunblock, SPF 50 -- Check!
Hat, wide brimmed -- Check!
Full rash guard suit, SPF 50 -- Check!
Swim shoes -- Check!
Shovel -- Check!





My girl will find it hard to tan, much less burn on my watch. We are prepared for a day at the beach.



















We attended a beach party at Doheny State Beach and the kids had a great time. The weather was great and the water was warm. Malia didn't nap this morning -- at all -- and she's still working on those two molars, so we were expecting the worst but hoping for the best. She did pretty good up until the very end. Malia's a pretty good baby - she's got to be beyond tired to fuss. Around 1:30pm, she started to fuss and she fussed right up until her tush hit the carseat and then she went out like a light... before we finished loading up the car, before I had the chance to load up Kael. She was T-I-R-E-D!

Kael had a great time. He met the grandson of a client and it was pretty funny to watch the boys play. Christopher is 6 and already you can tell he's going to be a hunk and a half when he grows up. He's obviously very athletic, with the innate grace natural athletes exude. Kael is 4 with the expected clumsiness and goofiness of being 4. They were trying to play soccer. "Trying" being the key word... In the end, the kids had a great time chasing each other around and Kael was pretty bummed to leave.


Kael, checking out the beach.



























Found our spot.












Let the digging begin!












Malia didn't like the slope at first but she quickly got over it and started running into the water.






















Digging is very serious business.























Back at the tent, Malia is blissfully eating edamani beans.







1) Luckily she hasn't figured out the zip-lock bag (yet).

2) The proper way of sitting in a chair.
