Breaker's Beach, Coronado Island

The weather has been so great we were hoping today would hold out so we could enjoy a warm day a the beach. Thursday are early days for Jacob and Ian managed to get home by 2:00 (YEA!). However, the weather was not quite as warm but we decided to go anyway. We headed down to Coronado Island to go to Breaker's Beach which is on the Naval Station. I love this beach for a couple of reasons, namely its really pretty clean which is due to the fact that ONLY military are allowed on it so that keeps traffic to a minimum which also means there are TONS and TONS of shells that are just perfect! oh and sand dollars! We had so much fun finding them. The only down side was it got really overcast and windy which in turn made it COLD. We were going to have a pic nic dinner but ended up leaving early and having our dinner in the car while we took the long way home through Imperial Beach and back up. All in all a good fun family outing.

Here are some of our pictures. It was quite cold and so at one point we zipped Owen into my huge sweatshirt with me:) Poor Nathan was practically convulsing from being so cold by the time we got to the car. I LOVE the pictures of them with their shells and of Owen's baby toes! Ian was showing the boys how to search for pismo clams. And then there is a picture of our sand dollars we found!










The highlight of my day though has to be getting this note sent home from Jacob's teacher!

He has reached the level he needs to be for the school district standard! He has been working so so hard. I actually teared up when he gave this to me. Proud and relief all tied into one. Yea Jacob!
