Sun, sand, and saltwater

The weekend before school started was bliss.
Our friends called up and asked if we wanted to head to the beach- not something I usually turn down.
We drove a couple hours, had a lovely picnic lunch (including sand in almost every bite), and spent the day jumping waves and playing in the sand.
Totally my kind of day.
The kids were NOT timid about the waves at all. I wouldn't have minded if they were a little. We had to keep reeling 'em back in. They loved it!

Truely, this is my daughter. Preferring to sunbath in shallow water and collect seashells.
She did really like jumping in the waves, too. She just had a hard time remembering to keep her mouth closed!

Me and the Mr.

We can't wait to go back.
