We are un-officially started in beach mode. For the second time in a week we had nice enough weather to make the beach an afternoon hangout. Friday was pretty wonderful, I watched a friends little girl while she did some "just bought a house" stuff. The kids played great, dress up, bubbles, babies, park, running and lots of eating. The timing was off just a bit so Elliot didn't get a nap- but he didn't seem to mind. Just after the little girl was picked up, Clay got home from work and we made a dash out of the house in our sandals and summer clothes. Elliot quickly remembered about that nap he needed, and was sound asleep when we got to the Oceanfront. The playground on the beach was pretty packed, everyone else decided it was the perfect place to be when it is 83* on a Friday afternoon in March. The kids didn't play on the toys- instead we spent our time walking in the sand, and Gabby splashed and frolicked in the chilly water! this picture is out of order, but I can't seem to move it.
This was Elliot the other night, as Clay said "he has a little bit of Grandpa Baba in him, jumping without hesitation...." Back in my dad's army days he was a member of the 101st Airborne, jumping out of planes! The camo pants and hat also are reminiscent of pictures I have seen from that time.
At first she needed a hand to hold while playing in the surf. These two are quite a pair.
This boy wasn't too sure about the water, he stuck pretty close to my spot in the warm sand.
Can you see the look on his face? Last year he was all about the water, but he is not quite as fearless with this being only our 2nd beach visit of the season. I have not doubts he will soon be all about the water again.
Is there anything sweeter? When you are 4 years old it is okay to hang at the beach in undies and a tank top because your pants got all wet- so your dad carries them around.
1st ladybug we have found this year. right next to one of Gabby's freckles- or "cutie marks".... aka a beauty mark. She has a cutie mark right almost on her lip too, similar to Auntie T, Auntie Randi and her best cowgirl cousin Audrie (partner in crime). If you know the blood relationships between these people it is pretty amazing they all have it in common.
Elliot was not the best walker on the walk... he kept stopping to roll around in the sand- and then would do this hilarious laugh to himself.
It was a gorgeous afternoon, followed by sub sandwiches for dinner and the whole family to bed early! So glad we got sunkissed yesterday, today it is cool and dark clouds are threatening to open up! Happy Weekend To All

That looks like fun! We are so far from short sleeved weather still at this point. We wore our winter coats at the zoo yesterday!
Beautiful pictures! What a great Friday.
