This afternoon we met Marias and Hayden at Buskin Beach. The temperature was 60 degreees (hot for kodiak) and perfect for some beach time. Marias brought kitchen tools-spoons, metal bowls and canning jars. PERFECT for beach fun! oh the kiddos had fun playing with sand and water.
We discovered that if one of the bowls was filled with water for the kiddos to play with, they were LESS inclined to wander towards the water. That said, Marias and Meg had to steer the kids away from the water frequently. They LOVED drinking the water from the river. We figured it was part fresh water, part salt water. They were so fascinated by drinking it out of the ladel. As much as we discouraged it, there was no holding them back. Stuart nursed and napped the entire hour.
This evening, it took several hours for both the kids to go to sleep. Nora has really been fighting it the past few nights. We think its the evening light. Even with the blinds drawn, light creeps through. It seems like just the past week or two that its been giving her problems. Its so nice to sit with Patrick and have time with eachother for a few minutes after both the kids are asleep. Amazing how little time like that exists in our day.
