Sandy Beach

This quarter mile stretch of beach was covered in towels, seagulls, and every type of sand castle making apparatus you could imagine. The surf was to rough for swimming, but the breeze was strong enough to make the sunshine and 90 degree temperatures seem like perfection.

This was Jade's first trip to a real sand beach. She tried one mouthful and decided that grit was not for her. After a thick application of sunblock she was sticky enough to pick up half the sand on the beach and had to have an Atlantic rinsing.

Giving Daddy a bit o' lovin'.

Preparing the giant hole in the sand. Do toddler boys have any greater joy than digging a big hole and filling it in? Then we buried him and the fun really started...

And the baby rules the day :) She was thrilled to walk all over her big brother. These two could have spent the entire vacation on this stretch of beach and if all the days had been like this one I would have been up for it.
