Easy Peasy

Last night our pastor and his wife offered to take three of our children for the night. So that left us with just three kids. We (or I should say I) thought it would be fun to have an evening at the beach with a picnic dinner. After dropping the three kids off, we headed out. We ended up at one of our favorite beaches in Hale'iwa. (Think 'Lost') It was such an amazing evening!! I got to go snorkeling, and found some fish, and a sea turtle!! I was so close to it, but I looked up to tell Derek and the kids that there was a turtle, that by the time I looked back down I couldnt find the turtle. Sarah and Matthias had fun playing in the surf. A good amount of waves, but not too rough to knock them under. Laurelin had fun playing in the sand and going in the water with momma. Derek spent most of his time snorkeling, he was able to find the turtle again and was able to swim with it. And he found some big fish that went swimming by his head, and some blowfish. I wanted to stay until sunset, but the kids got pretty tired, so we headed home to have some treats and watch a movie. I must say it is much easier to have just three then six. I was much more calm and relaxed. But I miss my others, and cant wait to see them at church. It was a nice break to spend more quality time with just hte three.
