Ocean City

Yea! It is warm enough to start taking trips to the shore! On Thursday we headed down to the beach for playgroup. The water was bone-chilling cold but the air was warm enough that it was very pleasant to play on the beach. Unfortunately since it was the first trip of the season I was a little out of practice applying sun screen and Cambrie's face was rather splotchy from a sunburn afterwards...oops...you can tell she had a good time at least!

Cambrie was having fun digging her toes into the sand.I think she and Jayda were trying to make a sand castle. They look like they're really focusing hard.The kids loved digging holes, and were able to get them pretty deep. This was a lot of fun for the older kids but a little bit of a problem for the younger ones who would fall in and disappear completely. After they dug the holes they needed to get some water to fill them in. The water was so cold that they didn't make many of these trips.McKenzie spent the day happily asleep in the shade.

I don't know what we're going to do in a few months when we don't get to spend days like this at the beach. We all love it!
