A Day at the Beach

We really enjoyed our visit to an island beach about 40 minutes by boat from where we were staying. This beach had lovely white, soft sand, clear blue water, and yes, tons of tourists like ourselves. The downside is that you have to share the beach with a lot of people wearing very little clothing. The upside is that because the beach caters to so many tourists, all sorts of amenities are available, like comfy beach chairs and ladies walking by selling ice cream. The girls didn't care too much about the people . . . to them, sand + sun + ocean waves= FUN! They wasted no time getting sand in every crevice . . . While the men played Frisbee in an open stretch of water . . .

And the ladies relaxed with our feet up. Yes, those are my feet. :)Chloe paused her busy digging to give me a sunny smile!

And then did some floating on the waves with Daddy . . .

Christin had fun too, but apparently not as much as Clara Anne, who was often seen dancing for joy and happened to dance into this picture!

All three girls were too busy to look up and smile (and the sun was rather bright) . . .

But they did spend some time with Daddy building this sand castle! (After all that hard work, they needed a popsicle refreshment!) I think there is a main castle and then the princess' small cottage connected by a curving road. Notice the moat!

PB&J satisfied a hungry tummy--and the smile on her face says it all. We love the beach!

What a fun day! It was so fun I can't . . . stay . . . awake . . . anymore . . . . zzzzz.
