We are not beach people. Yes, we live somewhat close (45 minutes) so maybe we should be, but we just never go. Things get busy at home on the weekend and it’s a bit of work to go (toys, towels, snacks, drinks, diapers, wipes, yada yada yada) so we end up just staying home. But since we’re moving soon and we know the kids love the beach, we thought we’d treat them! Unfortunately, most of our beach toys were packed away, so we made do with some bath and pool toys, a big bucket, and a kids garden rake and shovel.
Getting dressed in the restrooms.
Tom dug a small hole for Owen and Katie immediately got in it.
Friends of ours happened to be there, too!
Then we took a break and had lunch!
It took a few hours but she was FINALLY super comfortable in the water!
Owen made friends with some kids who were building this.
The kids Owen was with had nets and caught some minnows—and he was holding one!
