I know you are all sick and tired of looking at pictures of baseball and barbecues so I'm moving on to Sunday's fun day at the beach. We didn't get out as early as we would have liked because we were all pretty groggy after our late night movie (especially Grace!) but we managed to get to the beach by 11am which isn't too bad. We brought a picnic lunch and enjoyed the sand. Actually all of us with the exception of Ethan enjoyed the sand. He hated his feet touching the sand and was pretty grumpy about the whole beach trip excursion for the first 45 minutes or so. Once we dug out the food and he spotted some seagulls he brightened up and after we put his shoes back on and kept him on the blanket he really cheered up. I have no idea why he freaked out about walking on the sand because he hasn't done that before. Guess we need to visit the beach more often!
Grace on the other hand thought the sand was the best stuff on earth. She literally swam through it, we couldn't get her to stop rolling around in it! She had a great time playing in the sand but didn't want anything to do with the ocean. I think she was a little scared of the water and I don't think that's a bad thing. I'd rather have her scared and safe then brave and me having to run out in that icy water after her. Plus it made clean up a breeze when we eventually headed back to the car!
More pictures!

It was one of my funnest days on the beach ever! Warm and just breezy. Watching kites fly, dancing in the sand, walking along the water, hearing the seagulls, eating a picnic, seeing Grace and Kellie bury David's legs in the sand, enjoying great family time together.
