On Saturday morning we took the Beans to Dog Beach for some swimming... We usually drive there but we decided to try jogging/walking there and back... Well, it was interesting... We've been wanting to try to put the Beans in compartment underneath our Bugaboo and see if they will stay there and enjoy the view... So we put down a comfy towel and put them in and headed out onto the shore path... Our plan was to jog there and walk back but right after we started to jog Ellie decided to risk her life and get out of her carriage and almost got run over by the bugaboo wheels... Ouch! So we took Coco out and leashed them both and went up on to the side street and started to jog with the Beans running with us... Oh and as long as Madison is awake she would demand to hold the girls' leashes from her bugaboo seat so imagine, a good size of this party taking up a side walk! At about the half way point(0.75mile) Ellie started to wheeze like an old person so we had to pick her up and start to walk the rest of way... Then I was thinking we would never attempt to do this again... Once we got there we had a great time, I gave the girls some water and Ellie magically came to life and they got to go swimming with Dave... A lot of doggies on the beach get themselves in the water and swim but the Beans are not there yet so we've been getting them used to the idea of waves and swimming by gently placing them in the water and making them swim back to shore... Here you can see them in action!
Since it was Saturday there was a lot of doggies and their families on the beach enjoying the day...
ドッグビーチを出ると直ぐにマディソンのお昼寝開始、持っていたエリーの散歩ヒモを取り上げた後のんびりと自由な散歩を楽しんでいたと思ったらまたお婆さんの登場！仕様が無く木の下で休憩を取った後抱っこで帰りました。アパートに着いた後、すでに水着を着ていたデイブは寝ているマディソンを連れてプールに直行、私はビーンズを連れて部屋に帰り急いでお風呂に入れた後水着に着替えてプールで合流。そのまま、暖かいプールにいれば良かったのに何でか知らないけど海辺に移動する事に...いつも冷たすぎるから海には入らないんだけど今日は泳ぐ気がしたので歩いて海に入って行ったら...何か平たい物踏んじゃった！しかも動いた！エイだよっ！気持ち悪い〜って海辺に戻ってデイブとお子守り交代です。デイブは信じてくれなかったけど絶対踏んだのエイだった！あんなに平たい生き物他にいないし、この前ここで日が落ちるのを見ていた時漁師さんが小さかったけどエイを釣っていたの見たもん！
私とデイヴの将来の目標の一つがトライアスロンに挑戦する事です。トライアスロンって三種類(水泳、自転車、マラソン)の競争の事です。だから少し海で泳ぐ練習をしてみたんだけど、プールで泳ぐのより難しい！波に揺られながら泳ぐのや海水が口に入って来ながら泳ぐのは思ったより大変で疲れる...これから頑張らないと！
Right after we left Dog Beach to head back Madison fell asleep while holding Ellie's leash and as soon as Dave was able to pry it off her hand Ellie took a nice walk with her sister until she pulled one of those old lady things again that required us to carry her like a baby and stop and take a quick break under a tree... When we got to the apartment Dave who was wearing his bathing suit all day and sleeping Madison went down to the pool and I went up to our room with the Beans to give them a quick bath and put on a bathing suit and came back down for some swimming... We were at the pool for a bit and we decided to go out to the beach. The sea water is a lot colder than the pool water so I don't like it but that day I felt like swimming in the ocean so I was starting to walk into the water and I stepped on something flat and it moved... A sting ray!!! Dave does not believe it but I am 100% sure it was a sting ray I stepped on!! One of the reasons is that the other day when we were on the beach hanging out we saw a guy fish a small sting ray!! Another reason is that it cannot be anything else, what else is flat and moves that is in the water!? I was grossed out after that and quickly came back onto the beach and switched with Dave for the baby sitting role... We also tried swimming in the ocean that day since we do want to try a triathlon someday but it is really hard to swim with waves rocking you and really salty water getting in your mouth all the time... That's hard!

最後に、マディソンがやっと絵本を読む気になって来てくれたみたいです...まあ、３、４ヶ月の間マディソンの本は全部箱に入っていた事もあるんだけど、前は本を読むというよりもページをビリビリ破るぐらいしか興味を示さなかったからこれは嬉しい発展です：）少しだけど、ビデオに撮る事が出来ました！
Lastly, Madison is finally interested in pulling books out and looking through them... I guess mostly they have been in boxes the last few month but she was more interested in tearing the book pages than actually using them in the right way before so that is very exciting to us:-) So we got a little bit of that on film here!
海辺に住んでるだけあって、いっぱい海で遊んでるね♥
ReplyDeleteうらやましいなあ〜♬♩♪
私の、今年の夏のテーマは"川遊び"で、群馬県でキャニオニングしたり、木曽の赤沢自然休養林で、川遊びしたり森林鉄道に乗ったりして遊んだよ☆★
早く、お姉ちゃんの新居に遊びに行って、海やプールで遊びたいなあ〜♡♥
i padでマディソン絵日記読んでるけど、。今の段階で動画が見れないんだよ〜(T ^ T)
FlashPlayerに対応してないらしく、上手くダウンロード出来ないんだ・・・（泣）
でもでも、マディソンのかわいい動画見たいから、他の見れる方法探すね(^_−)−☆
