A good night’s sleep and a day ready for some oceanic pleasures. But first, we needed to celebrate our dinner last night: Laughing, kindness, and thinking of others. Daddy, you do the honors. (*PLOP!*)
Now we are ready for a walk down to the beach for a nice walk and some shell collection.
We are all bundled up for the foggy morning. This is my favorite part of the day!
Also, just look at the foliage. God’s creation is so colorful.
The Del. I’ve been crowned. I’m so happy, water is erupting from my head.
We arrive to the sand, Tot removes her flippies, and runs runs runs. She is like glue to the water.
In her happy place. (mine too, BTW!)
After sauntering along the edge of the water line for an hour or so and some fine shell collection (it’s always a “oh, look at this one!! completely perfect and unique”), we headed to the long line at Breuggers Bagels. Deliciously filing brekkie to energize us for the day!
We head down to the beach which wasn’t very busy since we missed the Labor Day holiday (it’s the Friday of the week after Labor Day). Honey had bought a wonderful beach cart which makes going down to the sand pleasant. We bring a bevy of toys and comfort needs. Doug would have been a supreme Boy Scout because he is Mr. Prepared! (love this!)
All settled. Now where is Tot!? Frolicking in the water already. The cold water was a non-issue.
We had fun posing for Daddy.
I always dress us in uber-covering for our body. The sun, even in the fog, is quite strong.
Ok, Tot. I’m getting warmed up for the water.
She is saying, “Let’s GO!” I’m almost ready.
I figured the only way she would Boogie Board is if I show her how it’s done. Time to suck it up and get in!
Now, your turn!! I got her set up and told her to wait for the wave to come. Now ride it in. You GOT THIS!
YEAH!!!
I wanna go again!
Ok, Daddy first. He is ready to go. Shirt removed, and he’s raring to go!
Yay honey!
We spent more time making sand castles and moats. The tide is coming!
Tatum decided we needed wet sand, so she fetched some the slow way because its’ more fun that way! Daddy and I had fun scooping and building.
After frisbee, playing and enough sun, we headed home.
Tatum had some homework to finish, so we worked on her food group project. I also had to do my GCU work.
Such a full fun day. After a game, we had our Chipotle dinner, read some books, and fell asleep! Tomorrow, we have another full day planned!
