Today was the epitomy of pure relaxation and utter enjoyement as we played at the beach all afternoon. What is great about this beach is that it is only 15-20 min away from our house and has underground parking so we can park relatively cheap, walk right out to the beach, and come back to a cool car. Now that it is so deathly humid outside these days, having a cool car to come back to is a total highlight. It was rather windy today so it took Mike and I a bit longer to get the canopy set up but once it was up it was so great to sit and watch the kids play. The waves were small for the kids which was fun for them and stress free for us. The sandbank is so shallow and goes out pretty far so the kids can play in the waves without us worrying too much about them getting into any sort of trouble. Even Abby had fun playing in the closer waves. I loved that I could just sit in the shade on my chair, watch the kids having fun, and snap a few photos with my iPhone. I had my share of time in the water with the girls. We jumped over the waves and swung around a bunch. They loved that. Both of the girls were pretty fearless but they definitely knew their limits which was good. The only thing we wished we had today was some body boards. I guess we will have to invest in some before our next beach adventure. Emma had a blast collecting shells and the boys stayed in the water most of the time. After enough time in the water all the kids had fun playing in the sand. The only thing we had were two big shovels and yet they still had so much fun. Eventually the sun hid behind the clouds but the weather stayed warm so we stayed a bit longer before heading back to our car. It truly was a fabulous day at the beach with the kids.
