A Day at the Beach

After visiting the pond to look for minnows, we headed to the beach.  The beach was closed the day before so the kids went crabbing.  I think the water was just barely not too rough for boogie boarding on Sunday.

Wesley and James boogie boarding.

Wesley loved it.

He isn't crying in this picture, he is laughing.  He was so happy.   When he did get tossed around by the waves, he just went back out and tried it again.

Josiah loved playing in the sand.  He looks a little guilty about something in this picture.

Joseph didn't bother with a board and just body surfed.

John and his friend, Nicholas, dug a hole for Josiah to play in.

 Josiah loved playing in the water in the hole.  As the tide went out and the hole drained and then disappeared, he kept trying to get me to dig another big hole.

 

He also loved playing in the shallow water.

The beach was very crowded on Sunday.

Chris played in the waves with Lydia. She loved it! In this picture you can see that Chris is working hard to keep them both upright.

I love this airplane banner!

Here is a video of Lydia and Wesley boogie boarding.
