Since dad lives about 5 minutes from the beach, it's always something we do several times while we're visiting. However, it's way different going to the beach when you've got two kids and two tons of their gear to tote along!
Day number 1 at the beach was just Amber and I. I have to say, I am pretty proud of the way we got everything down to the beach in one trip. We'll forget about the fact that poor Owen was clinging onto Amber for dear life as he slipped further and further down...no one fell, and that was an accomplishment. We did realize, however, that we aren't very adept at putting up a beach umbrella. Luckily, the beach there doesn't get very crowded; it took off in a gust of wind and wound up mangled beyond recognition.
The other day we spent at the beach we had Dad and Shirley to help, so things went even more smoothly! The kids loved playing in both the ocean and the sand. One thing I will never get used to...sand in all areas of my body from having them crawl all over me. Some pictures of our time at the beach:
