dinner at the beach!

during the summer the jenssens pick a day during the week and go down to the beach at avila, eat a dinner of appetizers and play in the surf and sand. we only made it to a few of these gatherings this year, and this is the first of them. once the sun went down it was freezing and we were totally unprepared. thankfully colleen was double prepared and she lent us one of oliver's jackets and a beanie.

this was also the first time iris went boogie boarding! after an initial crash involving salt water up her nose, she got back out there and didn't come in until her lips were blue. eric was delirious with excitement at her enjoyment and enthusiasm.
