It didn't take us long to adjust to the beaches in California! The kids love the sand. They hardly fight at the beach. They just spend hours dumping sand in buckets of water, digging holes, and looking for treasures. It's fantastic for all of us!
They also love an afternoon or evening at the pool. I never thought we'd be living in an apartment at this stage in our lives, but there are certainly plus sides. Like 7 pools and hot tubs to choose from!
We also love all the new parks around. It has been so fun to explore new areas. Our favorite so far is Seven Seas park in Sunnyvale
We also have enjoyed our passes to Monterey Bay Aquarium, which is about 1.5 hours away. It's fantastic!
A couple of weeks ago, Jake was in his first ever primary presentation at church. He participated (kind of) in lots of songs and actually said his speaking part into the microphone. You couldn't really understand what he was saying, but he did say it! "I can be like Jesus by serving others." Yay Jake! (And McKenna can't let Jake have a picture all to himself. And look at how much she adores her brother!)
We've had such a fun summer!
All that fun wore us out! McKenna isn't the world's best sleeper. She's hard to get to sleep at night sometimes, but I am trying to treasure her wanting to hold my hand as she falls asleep. I keep reminding myself that she won't always want me to do that. There are hard parts of being a mom, but it sure is great!
