Every time we arrive at the beach, the kids act like wild beasts -- like we never let them out of their cages.
See that chair? This is the first time we've brought a chair for me to sit in.
We will always have this chair from now on.
Eventually, they settle down and have fun.
Olivia was really into the boogie board this year.
She spent a good chunk of our hours going back and forth, fighting the waves, trying to catch the "big one".
Crab carcasses everywhere . . .
Olivia scooped up a big bucket worth of wet sand and dumped it out.
Inside the pile of sand, we found at least 10 little horseshoe crabs no bigger than my thumb!
So, we filled up another bucket with water and plopped them in to watch them swim.
They're fast little boogers!
A little creepy too. And really camouflaged.
And if you stood where the water would just get your ankles wet, you could see the horseshoe crabs (and some little fish) come out and swim around your feet.
This was a great day to go to the beach.
It was a little cloudy, not too hot.
Not surprisingly, only Olivia and I ended up with sunburns.
Hers is on her back and thighs, mine is on my feet.
Really, the tops of my feet got a little charred.
But I'll take it if it means hanging out at the beach all day!
