Hot Flash

Ready to face the waves

After such a cool and nice Labor Day weekend, a heat wave descended upon us so I whisked the kids away to the beach. I noticed the temp gauge in the car was 83* and just a mere 3-4 miles later, it dropped to 77*. That made a big difference and it was a lovely day at the beach.

Frothy sea water

Perfect, actually with warm sun and a nice easy breeze to cool us down and the water was cool (at first) but great too. Josh usually can't last more than 30 minutes being wet but we stayed for 3 hours. :)

The kids romped in the waves while Tyler ventured out further into the waves to try his bodyboarding skills. They had a great time burrowing into the sand to make waterways, tunnels and bridges.

 Joshua caught a massive sand crab too.

Tyler found a long 8 foot piece of seaweed attached to a rock to haul around.

Ball and chain: seaweed and rock

It was a great way to end our summer although we have one more day before school starts.
