After getting up, having breakfast, getting food and kids ready we are finally off to Mom & Dad’s house to meet up with the rest of the family and head to the beach. The drive was mostly uneventful with the exception of a child who was ready to be at the beach NOW and not 3 hours later and her younger brother who was being a comedian. Traffic wasn’t too bad either; even through a slowdown north of Fife due to a structure fire.
This is how we build Sand Castles!
As we pass through Aberdeen we catch a glimpse of a tall ship that looks a bit like the Black Pearl. We get to the beach and the tide is in. We carpool onto the beach and leave a vehicle up at the parking lot that doesn’t have 4WD. We play in the water, fly kites, eat fried chicken…and then the clouds come in and we play in the water, fly kites and eat more fried chicken. A nice day, no sunburns and lots of fun!
J finally decides sand it ok. FINALLY!

I like the reflection and softness of this picture.

Dad showing C (the neighbor girl) how to make the kite not crash...
"keep your hand together like this".
C 'helping' M with her downed kite. What a helpful sister!
The original plan was to stay at the beach and maybe light off some fireworks and have Smores but it got cold and some had LONG drives back home so we called it a day and went our separate ways. The beach will always be there and I'll hopefully make it again next year.
