The kids & I were able to go to the beach a couple weeks ago for a long weekend with dad. Wade had to stay home to work, sadly, but we had a good time!
Caden's typical breakfast... milk in a sippy cup, and a mixture of Cheerios, craisins & bran flakes :)
The first morning, we walked around for a little bit (and discovered that the pool & hot tub were closed for renovations - sad!). Caden discovered the fountains by the clubhouse though, so that was entertaining for a while!
When the tide went out some and we thought it had warmed up a bit, we put on swimsuits & headed to the beach. Caden carried his bucket of sand toys :).
It was pretty darn cold (and windy), so I ended up going back up to put on a shirt over my bathing suit... but the kids loved the sand and played around in it for a little over an hour, until it was lunch time.
We came in & Lindley quickly fell asleep on Bapa. She took her nap there, while I fed Caden lunch & got him ready for his nap. We went to Lee's Inlet Kitchen for dinner - Johns family tradition! And as always, I got the grilled chicken & it was great :).

On day 2, we got up and played for a while in the morning, since it was high tide & still pretty chilly.
I tried to get a picture with the kids.
We repeated the playing in the sand activities of the day before.
Lindley discovered that she had to lick sand off her thumb every time she wanted to put it in her mouth. She was a little deterred by that, but not enough to stop her.
After their naps, I took them on a walk around Litchfield by the Sea.
And on Sunday, we packed up & drove home!
Caden seemed somewhat scared of the ocean, although we didn't even try to put our feet in since it was so cold. I hope he'll warm up to it when we go to the beach again in June & July, and Lindley will get an actual taste of swimming, since she hasn't yet!
