Family time on the beach is an ever-changing experience. I never know how the kids are going to behave! They might be terrified of the waves. They might eat gobs of sand. They might run up and down the sandy beach. They might spend the majority of the time sitting in the sand. I love that Claire and Tyler are so unpredictable. At Virginia Beach, Claire was all about jumping in the surf and making trips to and from the water to "wash" her hands and legs. Tyler however was terrified of the crashing waves, and when we set him in the water he would run back up the beach waving bye bye to the ocean. He chose to observe all the ruckus from the safety of our beach umbrella, which he would hang on like a monkey.
Brian is always acting like a child (in a good way), so his usual antics were on display: boogie boarding, hand stands, burying himself in the sand.
We have to get back to the beach again soon. I love NOT picking up clutter, NOT doing laundry, and NOT doing dishes. It's way more fun to see all the smiling faces at the beach.
Tyler waving "bye bye" to the water as he scrambles away as quickly as he can go!
The next day we experienced the crowded strip of beach, which wasn't really that bad to us.
The people watching was significantly better at the resort area of the beach. Amazingly Tyler did not throw sand on any of the sunbathers nearby.
Tyler returning from a Daddy-imposed excursion into the water. He was not happy with Daddy.
