First trip to the Beach in 2010

Holy cow what a slacker!! It's been exactly one month since we went to the beach and I'm finally getting the pictures up here.  Oops I'll try harder to stay on top of things. 
Anyway so a month ago in May we headed to the beach because it was going to be nice.  The kids love the beach.  Even though it's usually cooler and quite a bit windier than at home we still seam to find plenty of fun at the beach.




The kids dove right into playing in the sand 









I think it was last year we came to the beach and I had taken a picture of the boys like this.  They remembered it because they put themselves like this and said for me to take their picture.  It amazes me what kids remember.


We cooked some lunch on the bbq and then headed for the water

They can't even stop looking at the water for a minute



If I let Ethan he would be half way in the water by now.  The only reason I didn't was because I didn't want to have to chase him if he got stuck.




Little bomber is cold!

He got over being cold pretty quick

Now to throw crab shells back in the water

Yummy Aidan


Vance went a little ways in the water

He said it was freezing


Me trying to stay warm

Um yup he's going pee. hehe


Playing in the soft sand.  I love this sand because it's so warm.


Sand slide?  Clever Aidan

Ready, Set, Go!!

Yup sand + dropping it in the air = sand in the eyes


Nothing phases this boy

I had to relax in the sand it was so warm!!!

The boys couldn't look up because too much sand was blowing in their face

Found this little guy exactly like this.  I love it!!

Have to fly kites when you go to the beach!

Ethan is a professional

Ethan flying the Bumble Bee kite. This thing rocked!!

I think he's having fun!!

Bomber flying the shark kite.


Dual kite flyers.  It's Bumble Bee vs. Shark.  Who will it be?


Hmm it's going to be a close call

Bumble Bee won.  The shark fell down.  Aidan and daddy making a sand castle.

Two mountains and Aidan will crush you


My feet!!

We like to play in the sand

Tall Latte anyone?


Me and Chuggs

A little baseball.  Kind of tough throwing a whiffle ball at the beach.  

Blew up their beach balls and they flew all the way back to the soft sand.  So the kids decided to fall down the hills with the balls.

Vance entertaining himself

Playing in the sand or...

Eating sand.  Lovely mustache Aidan

Cool trick


The beach


Take a load off buddy


Hottie!!

Chasin down crows

Back to flying the kite

Sand in the eyes

No thank you Aidan you eat it


Scary!!


The Hodo's were here

I couldn't handle tripping on all the crap around us.  So I gather some up and this was my collection.  People suck!!

That's a new way to fly a kite



Our little campground place

The beach

Can't go anywhere without an adventure!! Aidan decided to let the kite go.  If you look really close you can see Vance in his orange jacket way out there going for the kite.  You can see the kite way out there more towards the building.  Ethan was crying because the kite was gone and dad was running away.  Drama!!! Yes, Vance saved the day and got the kite.  Aidan is no longer allowed to hold the kite!!!
We stayed for quite a few hours and had a blast.  We will be doing this more often.
