Beach Baby

Darcy had Thursday off, and with the weatherman predicting warm temperatures we decided to head to our favorite beach. Jaden enjoyed his first experience, staying cool in the shade.
As is tradition Darcy made a mini swimming hole. Darcy started doing this about 7 years ago, and since then we have graduated from the wimpy beach shovels to some heavy duty tools. Kaitlyn helped dig, too.After digging the hole big enough, you fill it with water.Then sit in the warm water and enjoy.But one hole isn't enough when you have two girls! So, repeat the process for girl #2.Jaden decided he didn't need a little hole - he went for the big water!Of course, no trip to the beach is complete without a treat or two.Jaden had his own treat - his first experience drinking water from a cup! If we're thirsty, chances are he is, too. And besides, the water spilled on his tummy cools him off.Rachael liked swimming and catching little fish.
Kaitlyn liked swimming and sitting in her pool.Jaden like everything. So much new stuff to learn about at the beach!After a busy day, it was time to go home. Goodbye, Beach. We'll be back.

Looks like you all had a fantastic time! There really is nothing like a day at the beach on a warm summer day.
