apparently we have had a heatwave since friday. it is finally over! we got invited to the beach saturday w/some friends, and didn't know about the heatwave till saturday afternoon. it was probably 65-70 at the beach, and over 90 when we got home, and we're only ~8-10 miles away from the beach!
this was the first time both tom & i went to the beach with the kids. i took the kids during spring break without tom.
andrew enjoyed himself. he especially liked walking & rolling in the sand(before he got cranky around naptime). he loved watching the waves hit the sand and collin jumping in the waves.
(he enjoyed himself, despite this facial expression)
(sand all over his face)
(sand sifter & being able to walk around, what else does a kid need?)
(andrew & daddy)
collin enjoyed the water, but also building w/the sand. by the end of the trip he was happy to be sitting in the shade.
(just relaxing)
(i bought the shirt for collin, but made the design myself. says "warning: autism meltdown probability high")
ivy loved playing with her friends, looking for shells, and running up to the waves and quickly running away from them before they splashed her.
(running away from the waves)
(enjoying the very cold water)we also saw tons of ladybugs, which we all thought was strange. ivy & i saw a pair of ducks swimming/riding on a wave, but by the time i got the camera, they had flown away. we also saw a man windsurfing. the wind was so strong that it picked him up several feet out of the water before he moved to the left or right(depending on which way the wind was blowing).
we had a blast and were so tired when we got home, after 2 or 3 hours at the beach. much thanks to the shipleys and their tip about baby powder to get sand off! worked great!
