Zoe was in SF today. Enzo slept almost 12 hours last night, and was ready to got his morning. We had our milk, and then went to Peets for breakfast. Enzo scarfed his usual lox, and chased after pigeons. Then we went by the neighbors house to caravan to El Porto beach. Thankfully, Enzo slept about 20 minutes in the car on the way there.

We set up in the usual spot, and the the kids headed straight to the water. The sand was very "hot". Where ever Enzo walked on the beach, he said "hot, hot, hot" over and ocer. We dug a big hole that quickly filled with water for them to wallow in. For some reason there where dozens of the big sand fleas right where we were digging. Enzo liked to hold them and laughed when they scooted around his bucket of water. He might have held a couple of them a bit too tightly.

Enzo was much bolder about the ocean this time. I think because we had in the water in Hawaii. I had to keep an eye on him because he kept walking straight out into the surf. I held his little hands and we walked out together a few times. He liked it when I waited until the very last second to yank up and over the path of an oncoming wave.

He and Wes played really well together, and they shared all their snacks at lunch. Wes went off to play again and Enzo kept eating lunch for about an hour. I finally had to carry him away from the cooler and back down to the water.

After more playing in the sand and some gull chasing, we headed back home. Enzo fed himself a big icy cold bottle of milk, and then fell asleep for the whole ride. I sat in the driveway for an extra 20 minutes to give him so some more sleep.

Inside, we watched some golf, read book, and spread out a picnic of all his leftover beach snacks and fruit. After snacks, we spent some time just roughhousing in the living room, which was probably the highlight of my day.

We then went to South Pas for a milk shake, and to play over by the library. Enzo ran around the big lawn and crawled around the roots of a huge tree.

We went over to the neighbors house for dinner, which started out well with Enzo playing with Wes and Owen. But Enzo got tired pretty quickyl, and the next thing I knew, he was crying and it was time to go home. He took a short bath, read a few books, and was ready to go to sleep at 7:30.
