Beach day!

I'll write a more complete synopsis of our trip after we return next week, but I did want to take a moment and note that today was beach day!  Where we are staying the beach is easily accessible (we can see the ocean from our porch) and it's not overly crowded.  Today was warm, but not oppressively hot.  We have two beach umbrellas, I use AT LEAST 50SPF sunscreen, and I wear a wide brimmed hat.  It was truly a lovely time.  I LOVED watching the kids try to catch waves on their body boards (Thomas was much more successful than Catherine), and I just soaked it all up.  I can tell they are tired, and that's okay too.  In about 36 hours, we will be getting up to head home, but this week has been everything we all hoped it would be!
