The beach finally was back to normal on our last day. The sand wall was gone and replaced by a nice flat area of soft white sand and the algae/sea weed had started to wash back out to sea. It sprinkled off and on the first few hours of the morning. We headed out and enjoyed the cooler air since the sun wasn't beating down because of all the clouds. It was so much fun!!
The kids did a beach dance for me....
Dave and Benjamin enjoyed some sand tic-tac-toe.
I spent the morning sitting in the sand as the water washed up and kept me cool as I watched my beautiful little girl run around pretending and dancing. She is so creative and so much fun to watch!
Benjamin and Collin joined me. The air was cool so you noticed the water temperature more and so as the waves would reach where we were sitting the boys would squeal and laugh in delight!
Me and the baby relaxing on the beach watching all the fun. It doesn't get much better than that!
Next up the kids made this game where they squatted down and waited. When the water finally reached them they took turns yelling something silly at the water and then went running up the beach. They had a blast!
Dave went out and started diving into the waves. The kids thought that was pretty entertaining to watch!
Dave started going out into the water a little and then would pretend to be an ocean monster and chase the kids down the beach.
Run!
It's amazing how much energy these guys have!
The kids turned things on their Dad and got some of our empty drink bottles and started chasing him and throwing water at him.
Collin and Anna were so funny. Even after the chasing had stopped, they would run and run!
Collin ended up falling asleep on me after all that running. So Dave ran back to the condo and grabbed some lunch for all of us and we lathered ourselves with more sun screen and played through lunch and nap time. Benjamin and Anna especially enjoyed the extra play time.
We couldn't get any pictures obviously, but after Collin woke up and ate we walked the kids out into the water and did what Dave called wave hopping. The waves only crashed once or twice, so if you walked past that you could just float gently over the waves farther out. So we would all "hop" over the wave together as the kids squealed with delight. It was a wonderful way to end our time at the beach. They had so much fun!!!
