After enjoying a nice Mexican dinner on upper Peach, we noticed it would be the perfect timing to drive down to the beach to watch the sunset. A storm was blowing in (thankfully cooling it off but bringing rain too). The wind was strong and waves were really big on Beach 1 allowing our boys to show their true colors. Jeremy was freezing cold in the breeze, and didn't want to head down near the water at all. We had to wrap him in a towel and sit him on the life guard chair and he was still asking when we could go home over and over!
Cody headed straight for the water. Unfazed by the huge waves, he was drawn to all the rocks on the shore and eager to throw them into the water like Dad. He went in so far that a crashing wave took him out. He didn't cry, just wanted the wet clothes off so he wouldn't be so cold. He spent the rest of the sunset in a diaper just as eagerly exploring as before.
It was a really relaxing time for Dad and Mom. Dad is stressed with starting a new job at GE (and still really doing his old one). Mom is a bit stressed/slash/anxious - new baby is a week overdue and we are eager to meet him or her. Erie is known for the beautiful sunsets and this one didn't disappoint. The crashing waves made it all the more impressive.
My favorite quote of the night from JLA as the sun finally made its way below the horizon, "Daddy, does the sun like to get wet?"
Such a great time...
