Paddy's Day - Part 2!

So, after the parade, as you can imagine, we were all exhuasted. So, we weren't too surprised when about five minutes after we got in the car we looked in the back seat and saw this:


This was the first really warm day we've had, and we knew there was only one place to go. You see, we're near the beach ALL the time. We all LOVE looking at the beach, and Hannah loves to see the "sprinkles" on the water made by the sun. However, it's been some what torturous that we're so close to the water and not been able to go to the beach. So, we headed to this great beach that is literally just a few minutes from the house.


"Wahoooooo!!!"



The girls and Daddy immediately started finding things to investigate. I don't think Hannah stood up straight more than 5 minutes the whole time we were there!



We weren't really sure how crowded the beach would be, so we were pleasantly surprised to find that it was nice and quiet!


Beautiful sand designs made by the receding tide


Daddy and Cailyn exploring



Cailyn wasn't too sure about the water, but liked running around yelling, "Nun! Nun! Nun!!" (aka, Run! Run! Run!!)


Hannah, enjoying the view


Sweet Sisters!


This seashell now resides on our kitchen counter. :o)


Me and My Girls!


I LOVE this pic! Seth has a great way of getting creative with his shots!


More sand designs

Even Seth and I had a chance to do some soul searching...

Hannah LOVES throwing rocks into water!
"This is a BIG one!"

Pretending it's a slice of watermelon

"I love the beach!"

So tiny in the big world!
Our day ended with a nice simple supper together at home, and a gorgeous sunset:
The pefect ending to a great day!
