On Labor Day, we headed North to an Ocean beach in Shoreline. It was only about 45 minutes away, but this beach was salt water and had a normal sandy beach vs. the rocky beach at the Lake beach we usually visit. The water was absolutely FREEZING! But, It was a perfect warm day to play in the sand at the beach.
This beach had these huge logs all along the shoreline that were perfect for building forts and hours of imaginary play. Our kids had a blast! Picnic, treats, good company, warm sunny day, not a care in the world - what more could you ask for?!?
Owen didn't nap in the car like I was hoping he would, so he started getting sleepy around 1:00. He laid down with me on the blanket and relaxed under the umbrella and enjoyed the ocean breeze. Drew thought we looked so comfortable, he came to join us too.
We barely saw Allie - she was too busy digging, building, exploring, creating, playing with friends, etc. This was her "perfect day".
Every now and then, a train would pass by on the railroad tracks. The kids would run up to the bridge to watch the train pass by below. It was a fun day hanging out with our dad and with our friends and with the sun... It won't be long until we don't see it for months. I'm not looking forward to winter.
