Day 1

Our general schedule consisted of hitting the beach pretty early for about an hour and a half and then heading to the frigid pool waters! We would do lunch and naps and then go out to the beach again in the late afternoon. We actually stayed on the beach this year (instead of across the street) and it was wonderful having the ocean right at our back door.

The kids weren't so sure of the ocean on the first day, but they gradually warmed up to it as the week progressed. They did love digging in the sand, though. Not sure what's up with Anna's tongue, but it's sticking out in a majority of the pictures taken this week. Either she liked the taste of the salt air or she was concentrating really hard on everything!

She had the death grip on me here!

Tongue's hanging out here, too.

And here . . .

and here!

Back to the beach after naps. This was Sam's first taste of the beach since he napped inside during our morning fun.

Anna's waving bye-bye to the water as the tide goes out.

Floppy hats are great, but sometimes they make your face disappear!

Going for a dip!

See, here's her tongue again!
