THE KURTZ FAMILY........OUR ADOPTION JOURNEY

We had perfect weather the day we went to the beach. The sand was like silk and the sky was blue and there was very little wind. What a beautiful place it was. The kids enjoyed jumping waves, building sandcastles and being buried in the sand. We had a great day on the beach. Maya is a natural in the water. She spent her entire time in the water only coming out for lunch. She made friends with a little girl there and they played together all afternoon. Denaye was a little cautious of the big waves. She did not like the feeling of the sand disppearing from beneath her feet as she stood in the water. She spent most of her time playing beside the ocean, but if you were to ask her she was swimming. One of the waves was so powerful it knocked her over....I think this is why she was a little scared, but she did loved it. Sam spent his time jumping waves and he had a blast. He did end up with a really bad sunburn though and the rest of the time we spent outside he had to wear a shirt. Kyle spent ALL of his time taking pictures....he came home with 1000 pictures from our trip to California. He loves his camera. Jesse spent his time wandering around and enjoying the beauty of the ocean. He is such a nature person and so he loved all of the plants etc. When we got back to Edmonton he called the city and told them they needed to plant more trees...their response was...go ahead..... if you can get volunteers and buy the trees yourself feel free to plant as many as you want.

We had such a great holiday...it was nice to not really have a schedule. We did spend a couple of days at Disneyland of course....this is what the kids were looking forward to the most. I will post about those another day.....
