A Day at the Beach

...well, at least a morning. Today was a beautiful day!!! By the time I went out on the deck this morning it felt like it was already in the 70s! Perfect weather for the beach! We got ready to head out around 10 a.m. (honestly, we spent most of the morning relaxing on the deck of the house)

We met up with the Ebright clan on the beach and began trying to coax Landon and Abigail off the blankets we had laid down. They were kind of freaked out by the sand. It was like they were trapped on a little island.



After a little while they started creeping toward the edge of the blanket. Then Abigail took a step off and fled to sit on Mommy's lap. I handed her off to Jeromy and got down on the sand to play with her shovels and buckets to hopefully try to interest her enough to get down.



Eventually, it worked. She came down and destroyed everything I had made. Then, she became intrigued with the crashing waves. So, Abigail and I walked down closer to the water. She LOVED it! At times she was hesitant, but then she would run laughing back into the water.







She had a grand time playing with Mommy and Daddy in the water. She kept trying to convince Landon, but he was as sure. (At least, that is what we assumed she was telling him)



After the fun in the water, we headed back to our houses for lunch and naps for the babies. Then, we went to "swim" in the pool. We stayed in the wading pool and just visited while the kids walked around and ate goldfish. It was nice to have a good time outside. Of course, after all that sun today I am exhausted!
