I'm not sure what is going on here, but it looks like Jonathan got a mouthful of sand.

Hannah did not appreciate being trapped in her stroller when there was so much beautiful beach to explore.

Andrew and Cate and playing in the waves.

Andrew and Jonathan were tentative at first, but waded in after a few minutes.

Ben getting a little zen on us.
After the beach and showers, it was time for books and bed.
Sunday night after dinner, we walked to the beach. That's right. We walked to the beach. It was a short 5-minute walk from our house and it was breathtaking. As you can see by the thousands of photos, we had a great time. The boys weren't too sure at first about walking in the waves, but by the time we left, they were both soaked. And we didn't dress them in their swim clothes, because we were just going to look at the water. That lasted about a minute.
Andrew's last visit to the ocean was his first birthday, and he has no memory of it. I think both boys will remember this trip. Hannah probably won't, but that just means we need to visit again!
