First Real Beach Day!

It's May. We're at the beach. It's hot and sunny. Welcome to Southern California!! I have to admit, this isn't the worst place to be stuck for a while. Although I do miss the changing seasons of New England.


We took Max to the beach and met up with some friends. It was really fun. The most surprising thing though is that Max is now afraid of the water. It takes him a good while to get used to the waves touching him and he doesn't like to venture out too far, either. Last year he would run straight into the water, never looking back and probably would have kept going if we didn't yank him back to shore. Hopefully with more trips to the beach he'll like the water more. Although not having to chase him into the surf is a blessing for me.
