Beach

We took our first walk to the beach, Imperial Beach, where we live.  It was Sunday and we wanted to just do a quick walk over but it ended with Alex stripped to his underwear so he could properly enjoy the water and sand.

 

Goodbye Inkom

We finally had to leave Inkom.  We loved living there while Adam was at OCS but now that he is done it is time to move to California.  We arrived June 10 and Adam checked in onto base on June 12.  The first week we were here we lived in the Navy Lodge on the North Island base in Coronado.  As much as we liked living in a one room place that included a mini fridge and microwave we were very excited when we finally found an apartment to rent.  We really wanted to live in Coronado but after looking for many weeks prior to moving to California and looking more once we got here, we finally decided it was out of our price range for what we needed.  We settled in Imperial Beach (IB as all the locals say).  Our condo is only 10 minutes to the base where Adam is stationed and 15 minutes from Coronado.  We live 2 blocks from the beach and 5 minutes from church. 

Cousins

Alex has had so much fun living at my parent's house and living next door to his cousins (David and Kathryn's).

David, Allie, Payson, Alex, Maylee

Baby Chicks

We have been incubating eggs for the last few weeks.  They finally started to crack. 

 

 

The first one to crack we named Petey. Unfortunately Petey's life was very short. The last three that actually hatched and lived, Alex named Milky, Cuff Ball (Puff Ball), and Chocolate.

 

 
Alex loved the chicks.  This project is very meticulous, we learned a lot, and had fun but I doubt that we (I) will be doing it again.
