The Beach

Saturday we decided to ditch all the unpacking and head to the beach. We planned on it for earlier in the week, but it just never worked out. Saturday, we decided to just go. We got kind of a late start and it started raining about an hour into our drive, but we still had a pretty good time at the beach, despite the clouds and rain. It was still pretty warm, but not warm enough to put the kids bathing suits on. So Lizzie and I just rolled up our pant legs and waded in the water. Mike and Jacob had shorts on already. Next time hopefully it will be sunny and warm so we can play more in the water. Assuming Jacob will go near the water next time. hehe. Actually, neither of them were real fans of the water. They were okay as long as someone was holding onto them.
Lizzie got a little nervous when Mike would let go of her.
Jacob loved the sand. He especially loved throwing it at everybody. The turkey. Mike had to drag him over to the water.
As you can see, he was not happy about it. I love this one. "Don't let it get me". He did not at all appreciate how the water came at him like it was going to get him. As soon as Mike let go of him he started crying and didn't stop until about 5 minutes before we left.

We gathered quit the collection of sea shells. One of my favorite things to do at the beach. :) Lulu thought they were pretty cool. While she was admiring them Jacob prepared to attack.

Here is my attempt at a happy family picture at the beach. It didn't work out so well.
As you can see, my hair and skin do not do well in humidity. Here's Lulu, still disgruntled about the sand in her hair.
Now to get rid of all the sand in our car.
