Beach Day

Friday we took the kids to the beach. Monty has a pretty rough summer schedule, but he has Friday's off so we try to take advantage of them. Monty set up a day at the beach with some of his cousins and we also took a family from our ward whose kids have never been to the beach. My favorite part of the day was watching Tyler and Kyle go crazy in the water and building sand castles with Trey and Kory. Kory would get so excited if I got two 'shapes' to stand on top of each other and then Trey would knock them over. We had fun time. About 4 o'clock Tyler and Kyle got out of the water and we went up and had something to eat. Since it was getting a little cold in my opinion I had Tyler and Kyle go shower and told them not to get back into the water.(this was mostly so that they wouldn't get cold) Well. after dinner Monty wanted to go back into the water. Kyle and Tyler begged to go with him, so I told them they could, but not to get in the water. Jokingly I said, "If you get in the water you're walking home!" About 5 minutes later Kyle came back up to where I was and sweetly said, "Mom, you told me I couldn't get in the water, but dad said it would be okay and I don't know who to listen to." I told Kyle that if he really wanted to get back in he could, but if he was cold when he got out he couldn't whine to me about it! Then he asked, "Mom, will I have to walk home?" I laughed and told him no. So, he ran back down to the water and jumped in. When he got out he was so cold, but he didn't complain one bit! He's such a water boy, but still obedient!!;) We had a great day.
