Woohoo! We made it and the kids are ready to hit the beach. This trip is dual-purpose. It’s to take photos for Doug & Geri and to have some fun!
Abby was ready!
The day started out really gray and a bit rainy, but we trudged out anyway. We walked over to the beach and walked out onto the pier
It was a wee-bit windy out there. 🙂
But fun none the less. All three older kids wanted to fish and spent some time talking with some of the fisher-people.
Eventually, we hit the beach, much to the delight of A&E. I bought them little beach shoes at the surf shop for $6.99 total (by 1 get one free!) and it was so worth it. They had no problems walking on the beach with them on.
Actually, throughout out fun, they’d walk down to the water’s edge and I could coax Abby into getting her feet wet, but Emi didn’t want it. She’d walk down and as the waves rushed in, she’d turn around and “run” back up the beach waving her hands in the air as if in surrender. 🙂
Abby liked getting her feet wet in the “bubbles” but that was about it. I had to be holding her so she wouldn’t fall… which was no problem of course.
The boys were all into digging holes…
Sara & Geri actually went INTO the cold water! 🙂
