A Day at the Beach

 We wanted to go out before school started, and our friends suggested going to Sand Dollar Beach on New Years Day.  So we did!  the weather was gorgeous and probably hit 70 degrees in the sun.  The water was probably closer to 65, but that did not deter some of the girls!

There was much delight with hermit crabs, and this poor guy had lost his shell.  We tried to find him a new shell, but were unsuccessful.  He was released with hope he would have more luck himself. 

Rylee got wet, but not much more than this. 

Oh yes, we brought Levi! 

He had a VERY good time! 

My little Mermaid! 

The sun was so bright it made awful shadows!  That's Marian.

It was beautiful. 

Rylee and Marian were the only ones who really got in.  Well, our friend's little boy did tumble in deeper than he intended to, but that doesn't count! 

Yep, Marian went all the way in and swam.  She was quite successful at finding some great sand dollars.  It was a good day!
