Beach Days

August re-cap
We got the family together to spend a day at the beach. The weather had been beautiful and HOT all week long. I don't even think it broke 70 this day. Oh well the kids didn't seem to mind that it was a little chilly. They dug in the sand, built castles, tossed around a football and flew kites. 






While Nick was out of town for the weekend and my Dad was working my Mom and I took the girls to Dash Point. I'm not really an outdoorsy type of girl, so we hadn't been yet for the Summer. The thought of having to deal with Lila around sand and a large body of water didn't sound to appealing to me. Eliana and Alexis love the beach and were so excited to go and fly their kites again. We were there for a few hours and I don't think Ellie did much other than fly her kite. I put Lila down in the sand and she was off exploring. I think she walked around the beach for about 45 mins. Every once and a while she would fall down, typically in the stream. She picked up some clam shells and tried to eat them, dug with a shovel a bit and ate plenty of handfuls of sand. Alexis happily sat out in the sand with several buckets and shovels and dug. This girl loves to sit and dig. Overall it was a wonderful outing.
