Well there was a period this summer when I was a bit dejected, wanting and hoping daily that maybe tomorrow the sun would come out, and the temperature gauge would nudge up into the warm zone.. Day after day we reluctantly pulled our fleece jackets closer around us as we ventured outside for a bit of play and pretend that it is summer fun.
However dismal the summer may be here in Monterey, we are truly enjoying and taking advantage of the incredible weather that December offers. After a few days of trying to focus on school amidst Christmas preparations, yummy cookies, parties, and the super nice weather, we finally gave in today and put the books back in the closet and headed to the beach! Yes, the beach in December.
The boys brought along Flat Princess ehmm I mean Flat Stanley courtesy of dear Texan friends and off we went. Lucky and I had a chance to get a good cardio workout walking the wet sand while the boys sat out to dig to China yet one more time.
We enjoyed our lunch and the warm sun on our faces before we headed back home - a great break - and it was so much easier to finish up the school work with sand between the toes.
