The First of Many Happy Memories

Today was a exciting day for Grandma Enright! Last night they arrived at our house after her first ever trip on a plane. On the plane she flew over mountains, deserts, and Las Vegas. She took pictures and stared out the window. I think if you ask her, she would tell you that she couldn't do anything but stare in awe out the window!

Today we took my in-laws to Breakers Beach on Coronado's Naval Air Base. At the beach Cheryl (my mother-in-law) and Oliver both put their toes in the Pacifac Ocean, a first for them both! Oliver has been to the beach before, but never put his toes in the water, and it was exciting for him. It's easy to see excitement in a child, but to see excitement in a Grandma for experiencing something new is somewhat rare. Alot of us take for granted a day trip to the beach. Some people may go their whole lives and never see the blue horizon of the ocean. Cheryl got out in those waves in her clothes and threw her arms up in the air and spun around and let the water almost knock her over! Several times I thought we would have to go rescue her. She finished off our beach trip building a sand castle and letting Skyler demolish it. I think everyone had a fun time.
I'm sure we'll have some more firsts later this week!
