Our weekend trip to the beach






the waves were pretty big

such a happy little boy
this child should've been born a mermaid
jojo and ellie played in this tide pool for a long time until we realized there were mosquitoes all over the place.  that's when we left the bay and went to the ocean side of sandy hook beach

we were happy to find a tide pool on the ocean side as well.  the kids played here for hours. 
papa was a little disappointed that the water was too choppy for the fish to come close, but he had a good time anyway.

girl talk, I'm sure
h was trying to convince madeline to come and play in these dangerously high waves.  
i would like to eat this boy

happy kids
We have thing for going to the beach even when it's cold.  When papa was little his mom used to take them to the beach at the lake in their swimsuits with wool sweaters on top. I have no problem doing the same. Actually, this weekend was not that cold as long as the sun was up, but when the sun went down we shivered a bit.  It was worth it.  We had such a great time. We brought our best little friends along.
