Ouest got a squirt gun today. It’s the only gun in the house and she really has no concept of violence or what a gun is used for, but she figured out right quick how to point that thing at the rest of us and squirt until we squealed.

We had a nice day today. Ouest and I went to the beach early this morning and walked up a nearby hill to take a look at the boat from above as well as the beautiful scenery. Maybe it’s because I grew up in Minnesota and just want to see something new, but desert landscape is just the best to me. And when you combine that scrubby cactus strewn landscape with an ocean it is just about perfect. The water here is a turquoise that almost looks Photoshopped in.

After naps we all made our way back to the beach and let Lowe loose. That boy has no qualms at all about crawling around in the cool water. He just lifts that butt in the air and crawls on all fours until he gets deep enough to start drowning. We lift him up, move him back to the shallows, and repeat.
