Last Tuesday after swimming, Sawyer and I played for a while at the Crissy Field beach on the bay. I saw a park officer on a horse and thought that Sawyer might like to meet them. As we got close to the horse, I realized that the officer was giving a ticket to a couple on the beach. After Sawyer and I quietly made our way back to the road next to the beach, his eye was caught by a large yellow digger. He headed right for it. My favorite moment in this video is about seven seconds in when he says “DIGGER!”

Lucky for us, after we played with the digger and followed the doggies, the officer came our way with the horse. My videos from here on down sort of miss the important moments like meeting the horse (it happened right after I turned off the camera)…

…like me getting caught in a wave when Sawyer and I get a little to close (which happened right after I turned of the camera)…

…and especially missing the moment when Sawyer got way to close to the edge, got drenched by a sneaker wave, kept walking into the water, fell face forward, and had me rescue him. We were both incredibly wet. I was surprised that the bay water was not as cold as I expected. Sawyer was surprised to be wet. What a sandy mess. This is why the video is only 17 seconds long. I had to shove it into my pocket quite quickly while I was pulling Sawyer out of the water.

    Uncle Kevin (he was almost 1 year old) fell backwards in the baby pool right when I turn away from him when I looked back he was flat on his back underwater. Pretty scary but he was fine. Now he is a really good swimmer.
