Both the kids love the beach...and going with the aunties makes the beach even better! The kids are so busy running around that it is a bit tricky getting a good picture...but notice the happy faces in all the pictures!
On this trip to the beach we were the only ones there...it may have had something to do with the chilly wind and not a very warm sunny day! But it is summer, darn it...so we will be at the beach! We sprayed ourselves down with sunscreen...not because we are overly cautious about UV rays...simply because we thought the smell of sunscreen might help us imagine that it was a hot day!
Auntie and niece...hand in hand in matching bikinis! Emma was trying to teach Elsie how to climb down the ladder into the deep water...in all reality it was only about 3 feet of water...but to them it was super deep and they were so brave! Before we left Elsie went down the ladder several times...having a brave auntie helps!
Going to the beach is about the only place we can go and I can really sit down and simply enjoy watching the kids...Elsie is happy to play in the water with the aunties...and James is in his glory playing with all the sand! Sometimes he will venture down to the edge of the water...but for the most part he is contented to play in the sand.
Love those little bikinis clad girls...
Happy faces...
Now that school is winding down for Ceara she was able to be home for a few extra days...and it was fun having her to pal around with! Elsie loves Ceara...so it was a fun little treat that she was able to join us for the afternoon...even if her legs are terribly white! (had to add that for her!)
Sand castle building...
Looks like someone ate a bit of sand! Someday this little man will figure out good things to eat versus bad things to eat...until then I will photograph all the funny things we find around his mouth...
Not sure what they were building...but judging by Elsie's face it must have been something cool!
James had sand everywhere...I tried to photograph our snack but the pictures didn't turn out very well. I packed with a bag of potato chips for a snack...and James lugged the chip bag all around the beach and reached in to get a chip whenever he got hungry. As a result the chips were covered in sand! We decided to call them "lake sand" flavor chips instead of sea salt flavour! yum?
The two little girls must have been imagining they were at a lovely day spa for the afternoon...getting a mud and seaweed wrap...sounds better than it looks!
Shockingly enough James is quite happy to stand at the edge of the water and watch...I am sure that will not last for long! I think for now James is just a bit of a baby when it come to his feet touching the cold water!
I love these last two pictures...Emma taking a little sip of Ceara's soda...when the kids see a someones soda they all line up for a quick sip...kinda funny!
A fun day at the beach...every time we go the beach I drag the camera with me and snap at least 50 pictures...so soon you will tired of looking at beach pictures!
