The other day Bryan and I decided to take the kids and dogs to the Mathews New Haven beach. It is a small public beach, but wonderful, because it is always completely empty. We have never taken Copper before, so it was a lot of fun watching him play in the water for the first time. He liked the water, but not the salty taste. Utah, on the other hand, Bryan could not throw the ball quick enough for him to get it out of the water. the kids enjoyed running down the small sand dune, collecting shells to bring home and paint, and making sand castles. It was the most relaxing and enjoyable time!
