The beach. What not to do....

First and foremost - make sure your kids lather up with "ocean lotion" as Nephi calls it. Make sure you do some of your face and neck area. Don't forget your arms. Then forget about the rest of you.

We stayed at the beach for 3 1/2 hours. We live in Oregon. Why would we get burned on the beach? It wasn't exactly hot down there. The wind was a bit chilly. My legs weren't red when I left. About 2 hours later....
This is what they look like. My feet are killing me.
At least half of me looks like a lobster. Anyone have some butter and garlic?

After a cool shower - it didn't help much. Except for cleaning the sand out of my hair and other places sand shouldn't be.
I forgot to put sunscreen on my face as well. It doesn't hurt at all. Well - I guess I can't really say. My legs are pretty much on fire so any other bodily pain is unnoticable.
This is your public service announcment for the day. Please carry on with your business.

I think this was in 2004. It was Nephi's first trip to the beach. The boys were all so little! My have they grown.

Meet the Parents...Russell and Candace
It all started for us when Russell left for Cape Town South Africa on a mission. Candace felt inspired to write him - so she did! We wrote for 3 1/2 years. Candace came home from her mission to the Texas Houston East Mission and we dated for 5 months. We married in July 1994 and have been happy ever after!
