On New Year's Eve (day), we took the kids to Huntington Beach to frolic a bit in the sand. It was a bit windy but a lovely, December-in-California day-- we even saw people surfing and running around in shorts!
Sand was a bit of a different surface for our new walker!
Ông cố ngoại (great grandfather) cheered Iver on!
Ông nội brought Iver to the ocean to touch his feet to the waves....
... and then (alas, I didn't capture it on camera) a big wave approached, and grandpa fell on his bottom while backpedaling, getting soaked in the process (but kept Iver dry!)
Kids were flying kites
Emma and Iver then enjoyed playing at a nearby park.
He was very determined to climb up the slide...
... but eventually gave up.
The sand was also a hit (some went into his mouth).
We enjoyed a home-cooked lobster dinner to celebrate the New Year and Kenn's birthday a couple of days early.
Iver got a new stethoscope (so he can stop stealing mine) from auntie Theresa
Danny also shares Kenn's birthday!
I'm always so amazed how smiley Kingston always is for the camera!
We hit the hay around 9:30 p.m. (but were up around midnight to celebrate the New Year with Iver's first waking of the night). Happy 2016!
