A Beach Visit

While we were in San Diego I really wanted to play on the beach for a little while. I miss going all the time like we did while in Pensacola. Emily absolutely loves the beach no mater what the weather is like. We decided to head up to Ventura to visit my Aunt and to play on the beach. Because of traffic things didn't quite work out as planned. We didn't make it to the beach until around dinner time and it was incredibly windy. So our beach visit only lasted about 30 minutes. But, for it being such a short visit Emily had a blast. She didn't mind the wind at all. She found many treasures on the beach. She decided to be brave and walk out into the waves and kept creeping out further and further, all of a sudden a huge wave came and knocked her over. She lost her bucket and was so sad. We saw it go into the waves and tried to get it but it was just too far out. She finally decided that maybe a friend would find it and then they could have it to play with. Clara didn't seem to mind the wind and was happy to just be outside and out of the car. I wish we could have stayed longer to play but we still had a 4 hour drive home.
Zachary and I have been able to email everyday so far. So thankful for that! He is doing okay and his days are just blending together. He told me today that he can't even remember what day it is anymore. He is working 12-14 hour days and is pretty tired by the time he gets off that he basically goes right to bed. We miss him like crazy and we are counting down the days until our reunion. The girls and I are staying busy and have a few fun things planned over the next few months.
