In between unpacking boxes we took a break and went to the beach. This was on the 4th of July (second day in our house) so lots of other people were at the beach too. We went to Palm Beach in Watsonville. For that beach it was a bit crowded but for, say, a Rhode Island beach on a summer holiday it was practically empty. :) At our house it was sunny and hot but overcast and a little chilly at the beach. Typical marine layer action. :) We didn't even wear swimsuits or bring towels (I don't know where all the towels are currently) but we still had fun and got plenty wet and sandy. Here we are on top of a dune heading down toward the water.
Despite the chilly breeze Matthew, Anna and Grant waded (or more) in the water and had a great time.
Matthew was pretty cold at first but eventually got used to the water and had fun.
Grant got very wet. I think he fell down in the water at one point.
Scott held Emma who was too cold to be interested in exploring. She was nervous about the sand too. Kinda like Grant used to be.
Cold Emma and John. At one point John headed down toward the water with me. He almost touched the water but had a change of heart at the last minute and came back to huddle in my sweatshirt.
He peaked his head out once in a while.
Toward the end he wanted to look around for rocks to throw in the water. We couldn't find any rocks but found a sand dollar instead. He was unimpressed with the sand dollar and immediately threw it in the water. :(
Here's Grant after falling down and getting very wet.
The kids didn't want to leave and asked if we could go back again the next day.
