Day at the Beach

We finally made it to the beach after promising She we would go. We tried Saturday but ran out of time. Yesterday morning we made it out there. It was overcast and so we were a little worried it would rain but the clouds cleared up as you can see. We went out to the Base's beach and I haven't been out there since Hurricane Ike came through. The storm surge created a new sandbar out a ways and when the tide is down like yesterday it makes a tide pool and that is where the kids were playing in the picture above.
This is on the sandbar with the Gulf to the left. The kids crossed over the tide pole with their dad. It came up to his knees but was up past She's waist.
She wore her new swimsuit. Her care bear 3T one was getting a little small so I got out her 4T one early. She sure looked cute in the yellow swimsuit and she liked it. This might be our last time to the beach until around March unless we decide to camp out at the state park on the beach next month.

We stayed for just over an hour and a half. We walked along the beach for awhile and collected seashells. She enjoyed digging and writing in the sand. T enjoyed digging and crawling in the sand.
