At the Beach

 We had a long weekend with Columbus Day, followed by a Teacher Workday.  The girls wanted to go to the beach on Tuesday, since there was no school.  So we headed out to Glass Beach.  Callie wanted to bring Levi, and we squeezed him in the car too. Somehow the pictures are just slightly out of order, and I lack the motivation to figure it out.  So, in no particular order, I present the documentation of the day!

The tide was out and there was lots of beach for beach combing.  And playing.

Some girls sulked because their moms were not fast enough responding to take their photos.  and some photos are smudgy because when you tuck it inside your top so your hands are free.... sometimes you forget the camera lens may need to be wiped off before using it. 

Levi had a marvelous time running around.  Here he is, taking a break from the fun.  It was warm and he was hot and the cool sand felt good on his belly. 

It was so pretty and the pictures do not look as gorgeous as real life.   

Marian did dash off into the water and fully submerged. 

 And there were plenty of photo ops.

Callie lured Levi in the water this far, but he wasn't about to voluntarily swim again!  Belly deep was as far as he wanted to get in. 

More posing! 

 They enjoyed this little rocky outcropping that was like a little island.

 And they had to cram into this to get a photo.

I was surprised at how far up this hillside the girls were able to get Levi to go.  

But if it was there, it had to be climbed!  And I had to get a picture. 

King of the Mountain! 

Delaney had a good time making sandcastles and playing in the sand while the others mountain climbed. 

They did play a bit in the water too. 

My obligatory "I was there" selfie. 

 My awesome ladies!
