Sunday at the Beach

Sunday at the beach was great. We only stayed out for a couple of hours but the kids had tons of fun and we brought home tons of sand. The waves were pretty rough so the girls (Julianne brought her friend Sara) stayed pretty close to us. My daredevil had to be called in (by us) several times cause he's just in his own world communicating with the sea. He loves it ~ no fear whatsoever. He'll dive right in to the highest waves. Makes me crazy. Rich and I brought our beach chairs. We put them right at the edge of the water so the waves come up enough to keep us cooled off. It was so rough though that there were a couple of waves that went right over our heads, I swear. It was crazy.
Here's the girls waiting for the wave..
And here they are after it hit ...
And here they are in recovery....
And the boy managed to find some kind of creature. It had a hard shell and lots of little feet (ewww) He did return it unharmed to the edge of the water where it burrowed (very quickly) back into the sand.
