IMG_4892 We spent the afternoon at Santa Monica Beach. Henry thought it would be really funny to run around (in extremely windy conditions) with our beach umbrella.
IMG_4893 Did I mention it was really windy? 
IMG_4900As in our umbrella kept flipping the wrong way?
IMG_4894But that was the funniest part to him (and us and his lack of ability to have any control over said umbrella.) 
IMG_4904Shortly after this picture was taken, the umbrella slipped out of his hands and went wailing down the beach. I was laughing so hard, I was crying. Paralized (read: I made zero effort to help him) I just sat and watched & then my sister, Vanessa, jumped up to help him chase it. Luckily, some fellow beachers (??) leapt up & saved our blessed umbrella.  
IMG_4915Life as an almost-5-year-old is grand. 
IMG_4924Oh yeah, and so is the life of a soon-to-be 2 year old:
IMG_4937Thank you chocolate chip cookies!
