Trip to the Beach

We spent last weekend at the ocean and it was incredible.  The first day the weather was perfect and the second day it was cold and gray.  Nevertheless, we played on the beach for hours!  The girls collected sea shells, made a sand castle and poked at jelly fish that had washed up on the beach.  The tide was a low as I have ever seen it.  The only flaw of the trip was that we left home without shoes for Savannah (apparently, she had taken them out of the bag I packed for her and dropped them in the bath tub.)  When we got there and realized she had no shoes I got creative and tied a pair of Charlotte's shoes onto her feet with some string.  You can see them in the photo above.  It was a little bit like walking with flippers on.  But she managed.

As a kid we went to this beach every year, so I have so many fond memories there.  I'm so happy that my girls will have great memories of this beautiful place, too.  We can't wait to go again next month!  Then we will try crab fishing and clamming.
