the beach

I hope this is not an indication of what is to come this summer.

For some reason Addison kept asking to go to the beach. She wanted to go play in the sand and collect shells. It was nice out so I figured why not. First we stopped near this jungle gym thing. They climbed on it and the big giant sea creatures in the sand.

They had a race to the other side of the park.

We hopped in the car and went down near the pier to hit the beach. That's when it all went downhill. Morgan was convinced that the waves, which were 50 yards away, were going to come and get her. She literally stood up from the blanket and headed back to the car. She wanted no part of it. While Michael chased her down, Addison walked out to feel the water. I wasn't paying attention because I had my camera up to my eye, but right after I took this the water came in and Addison was soaked to her shins.

That was it for her. Now we had two crying kids who were ready to go home. The whole beach trip lasted five minutes. So much for those shells.
