Our Summer Begins

The weather in Seattle has been quite disappointing this spring leading into summer.  One Monday night the girls and I boarded the red-eye flight to Boston where the weather has been much better.  We arrived at 6:30 in the morning after a pretty smooth flight.  The girls did great.  Emma slept pretty much the whole time even through landing.  Madi just wouldn’t give in and close her eyes.  She just wanted to watch her movies.  I think she slept for a total of two hours which means I slept even less.  Uncle Jake picked us up and drove us down to BB’s.  The girls got comfortable pretty quickly and were excited to see their “Owl” beds that BB set up for them.  Around 10:30 or so, we all snuggled in for a short nap then went out to hit the beach.  The girls picked up right where they left off last summer, running around enjoying it all; the sand, the surf and their beach toys.  BB picked up a couple little kick boards for the girls which Madi quickly called her surf board and started walking around saying “Hey Dudes”.  I think she picked that up from the Backyardagains surf’s up episode cause I have no idea where else she would have gotten it.  She is now obsessed with surfing and all she wanted to do at the beach was try to surf on her kick board, Emma too of course.  The had so much fun and no fear of the water, which was a little surprising to me.
