Bella's first trip to the beach

Yesterday was a great day. We (CJ, our good friend Justin, and I) gathered up the children (Jadyn, Bella, and god-daughter Samara) and headed to the beach. Bella absolutely loved being outside all day. Samara and Jadyn loved swimming and building sand castles and Bella just watched in awe thinking about how one day soon she can partake in the fun. After our long day at the beach we took Justin and Samara home for her naptime and then ventured to dairy queen for ice cream and back to the Cooper's so that Jadyn and CJ could hot tub. It was a nice day ended with a nice walk around the neighborhood looking at the stars. We taught Jadyn to find the big dipper and we told him about the North Star. Today we are off to Aunty Kelly's house; it will be a lot of fun. =] What a busy Labor Day weekend!
