Ocean Shores

Our reward for finishing the house was going to the ocean on Saturday. We went with our cousins, Katie, Laura, and Dale. The kids love it and had a good time. We thought that it might have been a little warmer than it was but overall we enjoyed the cool air. The water was freezing but that didn't stop Cameron from jumping right in. The first 20 minutes the kids just ran and ran on the beach. Cam liked to chase the sea gulls.













When we were thoroughly frozen by the water and wind we found shelter in the dunes. The sand was warmer and the wind much less. The kids loved playing tigers in the grass and probably could have stayed there for hours.

After we stopped to eat ice cream and within the first 5 minutes Natalie and Mesha dumped their ice cream cones on the floor. The people were nice and gave us new ones. I think that it is part of the tradition of the ocean, getting ice cream and then dropping it on the ground. When we got home and bathed the kids I think we brought back a good part of the ocean with us. Ahhh...something to remember it by until next time.
