Beautiful Day at the Beach!

 We had some utterly gorgeous weather the week before last.  We took advantage of it and headed to the closest beach.  We went to the one we have our baptisms at.  We usually go to the public beach right next to it, but I thought the girls might enjoy the opportunity to beach comb in the area they never have a chance to play in.  Some of them wanted to wear swim suits.  I thought it too chilly for that but let them if they wanted.  The water was cold, and I only went in up to my knees.

Levi came with us and had a blast.  Since one part of the beach was only accessible by climbing over some rocks, we climbed over them and were able to let Levi off the leash to run free.  He had so much fun running around.  He went into the water, but only up to his belly.  Marian went into the water even deeper!  That girl is crazy! The air temp may have been 65-70 degrees, but the water was chillier than that!

Oh yeah, she went ALL the way in! 

Callie and Levi had fun looking for shells. 

Rylee drew in the sand and posed for me. 

She also dug some serious holes. 

Delaney and I strolled down the beach. 

Rylee wanted to show off her hole she dug. 

Delaney also dug furiously.

There was rather a lot of sand flying.

She thought she was so funny, burying herself.

Trying to show me just how deep it is.

It was pretty deep!  She really is standing upright in it here.
