beach day yesterday. Sandy Hook, NJ. had a GREAT day.
went with the fam, of course, and also Jason, it was his 21st bday, Kristin, Sabryna, Alyssa & Richie. we had a lot fun, sun and SAND. lol the kids had a blast. Trevor was using Bryan's boogie board and did AWESOME. Swim lessons have paid off... not that he knows how to swim... but bc he is really a lot more comfortable in the water. He kept falling off and going under, or getting knocked around by waves and going under or getting splashed right in his face and he handled it like a true champ!! :) Thank you YMCA for that. ;) & Speaking of that... Today is Trevor's last day of swimming lessons... he missed yesterday, unfortunately, but going to the beach more than made up for swimming lessons!!

I also had some good progress at the beach yesterday... I wore a bathing suit for the first time in NINE years. not just in public, but for the first time EVER in nine years. and you know what... it wasn't so bad. lol i didn't feel like a runway model in it... and i sure as hell didn't feel sexy or like a hot momma... but I also didn't feel like a HUGE fat cow or a beached whale... so it was a good day. :)

the girls warmed up to the water and ended up having a blast running in and out of the waves all day... which was nice. :) we also played in the sand some... which they LOVED... as a matter of fact Brooke brought more than half the beach home with her in her hair and on her body... even after rinsing off! lol

We had a great time! :) the only thing that sort of sucks... is bc of having so much fun and just really enjoying the day... I only took about 4 or 5 pictures. :( Which sucks. BUT is okay bc, that means that i really enjoyed the day and didn't spend it behind the camera... i experienced it all first hand in real life. :)

well the kids are just hanging out and that is kind of what i'm planning for today also, but i do have to empty the truck out from yesterday and while it's nice and sunny out, i think i'll hang out some laundry too! which means I have to wash some first. :)

peace love and sunshine!!
