After they got used to the texture of the sand, they were non stop moving. they loved digging in the sand, and walking around on the beach. shortly after they started playing, a dragon fly landed on Phoebe's hat and didn't leave for about 20 minutes. Yep, just sat there, like a flower on her hat decorating her beautiful head. She was oblivious.
then all the kids and daddy headed for the water, they loved the water! this beach was fantastic for our family, the water was very shallow and we had a huge stretch of beach between the chairs and the water, for the wandering kids... no they didn't go far, but they did love being able to walk around with freedom.
Phoebe decided to try eating the sand, she literally scooped up the sand in the shovel and put it in her mouth. she did it twice before we were able to stop her!
the clouds started rolling in and it was time for us to leave. the kids slept in the car all the way home, exhausted from a wonderful day at the beach.
