As I said - Perfect Day! It was hot. Hot enough to get in the water, but not unbearably hot. Sunny with some clouds. We got there early enough to get a great parking spot. It was mid-week, so it wasn't too crowded (not to mention no traffic).
Both kids really liked the sand and the ocean. They liked when the wave would crash on their legs and when the water would creep over their toes. Trent enjoyed filling his buckets with water, attempting to make sand castles, and throwing sand on Daddy. Claire liked carrying sand around, shoveling sand into buckets, and walking up to strangers (kids and adults alike).
After a few hours on the beach we walked up to the boardwalk and ate lunch then hit the arcades and rides. Again, they both enjoyed each ride they got on. Trent got on the firetrucks twice. Claire attempted to climb out of the boat ride.
Next on the agenda: Antique Pictures. I think antique pictures are going to become a "thing" with us. We have one of Kevin and I when we were, i believe, in our late-teens. Two years ago we got one of Trent and Maggie. This year we got one of Trent and Claire together, and one of Claire solo. They are expensive but so cute.
Popcorn and more sand time concluded our day at the beach. We had such a nice time that we hope to spend a week down there next summer.
Now, enjoy some of the cutest photos you've ever seen:
