Ada ate lots of sand and it didn't bother her a bit:
The kids loved jumping the waves:
Jennabee was terrified of the water and wouldn't even let it touch her toes so she played in the sand the whole time which suited her just fine:
Joe rented a boogie board for everyone to try out, and after he and the kids had several failed attempts, I impressed them with my super boogie boarding skills by riding the waves all the way to the shore several times. Joseph and Grant had a few good runs after that and LOVED it:
The kids enjoyed getting buried alive in the warm sand:
Austin only got lost once--and we found him pretty quickly--Phew!
Hans enjoying the sea shore:
The only bad thing about the day was that in the rush of excitement to get in the water, I forgot to put sunblock on the kids' faces. Ada and Jennabee's faces didn't get as bad as the boys who were in the water the whole time. Poor kids. But they aren't as bad off as Joe who tried to spray sunblock on himself and thoroughly missed most of his shoulders and back. He is mostly red with a few white streaks where the sunblock actually made contact and he is now in a lot of pain. He'll probably go through a whole bottle of aloe vera gel in the next few days. I love this muscle man pose:
After leaving the beach we stopped at In 'n' Out Burgers for dinner--My kids' first experience eating there so I had to document it:

Wow! Looks like you guys are having so much fun! I would be more like Jennabee, I don't like the water. Playing in the sand is just great with me.
sorry about the burns. I hope that doesn't put a damper on the rest of your vacation! I would tell you to drink plenty of water, but I'm sure you already know that, ha ha.
Ouch! That just looks so painful.
The day at the beach looks so fun.
In Australia I was scared at first to go in the ocean(I was scared I would get swept off my feet and washed away into the atlantic.) But as soon as I saw Kiersten I wasn't scared any more.I love that bather. Isn't that the one we got for Bee? Looks like a lot of fun. You and Joe are probably tired of driving, and even the kids. I know I would. Keep up the fun!!
Looks like such a wonderful time. You'll have to read my last post. You inspired us in our own lemonade stand attempts.
That burn looks PAINFUL!
Hooray for In N Out! Its the BEST!
