Valentine's day and another day at the beach

The girls and I cut out and painted some hearts for Dru while he was at work.  The girls even made some hand prints.  I made Dru a certificate good for 5 foot or back massages.  Dru wrote me a little book complete with illustrations.  It was a little odd, but I enjoyed it and appreciate the work he did for me.  He's so goofy.  We went out to dinner as a family to the Black Bear Diner.  It was a delicious and the girls always love going there to see all the bears.

That weekend we headed to the beach with some friends.  Dru wore his wet suit this time so he could get in the water.  We brought a couple boogie boards and he pretty much had a blast.  The waves got pretty big so I'm glad he didn't get hurt at all.  I had fun taking pictures, building sand castles with the girls and burying Mina in the sand.  Dalia loves to grab sand in both hands, throw it in the air and yell, "surprise!"  It's so cute. Dalia is also very brave and loves to stand in the water with Dru.  They wait for waves to come and as they do he lifts her up really fast so she doesn't get too wet.  Mina likes to play a game with me where we hold hands and get as close to the water's edge as we dare, make footprints and wait for waves to come.  If one starts to get to close we run away and see if the wave gets our prints.  Dalia also stuck her head in the sand and just sat there for a while.  She does that occasionally and we're not sure why.  She is silly.
