A trip to the beach

A few weeks ago Jose and I got to be tourists at the beach. We meant to just walk around but it was such a nice day we ended up actually getting our 'feet' wet. The good news is that Macie loved the water! She didn't complain at all, until it was time to go. And it wasn't exactly warm water.

I think one of the funnier parts is that none of us were dressed for the beach, but I had an extra outfit for Macie in her diaper bag, so we just let her get wet in her onsie. I was in jeans and Jose had regular clothes on too. I was laughing while taking these pictures because we must've looked like we were from the great plains where people don't exactly know how to dress for the beach. It was worth it though for the memories.

Do you think Macie feels this way every time I kiss her cheeks?

What are some of your favorite day trip locations?

Things that keep me humble

This year my husband (who teaches high school chemistry) has a blind student. He's told me a lot about her and I met her once while in DH's classroom (remember, we teach at the same high school).
She told me she has heard my voice before and I told her I'd say hi next time she walked by my classroom.
Yesterday I saw her while I was holding the door open for some of my students. I said "hi!" and she said hi and then asked me how my day was. I said great, and she said her day was going well. I said "That's great! See you later!".

Then I put my palm to my forehead and realized how inappropriate my comment was.
