We spent today on the beach at Ocean City along with four other families from our group of church friends. The water was freezing but the kids didn't seem to mind!
Baileigh was so excited to get the chance to boogie-board again...she has been talking about it all spring!
Daddy is on vacation for a few weeks and its been a lot of fun to have him around for all our outings! I especially enjoyed today since he played on the beach with the girls the entire time while I sat and socialized with my girlfriends!
Brad's fort he built for the kids. Several times today we had to defend the fort from other kids trying to conquer our territory...they weren't very intimidated when they just saw a few little girls, but they seemed to run off when Brad appeared...or
Katie!
Despite the cold
tempertures,
Mckenna got in on the boogie-board action...last year she wasn't brave enough.
Mckenna was buried head (
kneck) to toe...compliments of her friends, Emma and Lila.
Right around Brooke's nap time she got a second wind and was really wound up. She spent thirty minutes jumping into the hole that Brad built earlier in the day. She would jump, splash, laugh and get up and do it again...over and over. No wonder she fell asleep within seconds of getting in the car!
Baileigh and her friend, Allison...I like to call them ebony and ivory since Allison is so dark and tan, especially next to
Baileigh's white blond hair and fair skin!
Thankfully we have
access to an outdoor shower at my friend's house...Brooke
definitely needed to be stripped down and rinsed before she got in the car.
We had a great day, however, I was horrified at bath time tonight when I realized how
sun burnt Baileigh's legs were...I sprayed her well this
morning but I never reapplied and with her fare skin she got really red on the top of her legs. We gave her a cool bath and smothered Aloe on her and gave her some Motrin.
Mckenna's back is a little sun burnt too, but not bad. Brooke...my child with a completely different
complexion...not a red spot on her body, just nice and tan!

It's a different kind of beach than good 'ol Alki, isn't it? Do you prefer the Atlantic or the Pacific?
