A Day at the Beach

Today was our day to go to the beach. Headed out just before 1000, this time was chosen hoping that Kaleigh would fall asleep on the ride and not miss her nap, didn't work, she was awake for the whole ride.

Seemed to be a lot of people on the beach but seeing as how I don't often visit the beach this could have been a normal day.

Kaleigh wasn't to sure about the water and the feel of the sand.


Riley really enjoyed just running, picking up shells and playing in the sand.


This was right before the only huge wave of the day came in and knocked Kaleigh over. She was a bit scared but got over it very fast.


Playing with the beach toys.


Everyone heading out into the water.


As you can see there really was no surf and every now and again there would be a little hump of a wave.




Burying Kaleigh's feet.


Riley really liked this octopus mold and just stamped with it all over the sand.


Andy, Nikki, and Riley went back into the surf while Kaleigh and I stayed on shore.


Just checking to be sure Dada was still there.


Digging a big hole and filling it with water.


Why do they have to taste the beach? Wouldn't be so bad if she just tasted it once but no! She tastes it, spits out the sand, tries to wipe her mouth out and then sticks another handful into her mouth.


This is when I put the camera away and took Kaleigh into the water to get all rinsed off. Got out to Andy, Nikki, and Riley, switched for Riley and we came back in so he could play some more in the sand.

After we had been on the beach for just over an hour the lifeguard let us know thunderstorms were coming and we should get out of the water. We had just enough time to gather everything up, rinse off under the showers and change our clothes before the rain started, so we kind of lucked out.

All in all it was a fun time on the beach and everyone is ready to go back again soon.
