Each year we go to the beach. I know we are totally spoiled, because we don't go once, but two times. October is our shorter trip, but the weather is always amazing, so we cram all sorts of fun into those few days. When we are driving down, I could not tell you what the activity of choice will be for the kids. Each time it is something different. We have gone down and hardly used a shovel, because it is all about the waves that year. Last year was definitely the year of the boogie boards. The adults were exhausted from chasing the kids in the waves and negotiating boogie board ownership. Last summer, it was the kayaks and yolo boards. This trip, we were back to the basics, sand. And I mean really basic, because the goal was not a monstrously large castle, but a hole. Dig, dig, dig, go catch a fish, dig, dig, dig, find a shell, dig, dig, dig, find a little friend named Kayla, dig, dig, dig, you get it.
And why all this digging a hole in the sand - to find water. Really cold water. Definitely more fun than just jumping in the ocean. :) Well, at least they found it.
Cameron went with the more traditional route and made a sand sculpture. Because it was all about the sand this year.
The wonderful thing about all this digging and sculpting is that it makes the kids TIRED!
I am already wondering what the great adventure will be about next summer.
