To the beach - June 2008

Zachary's first trip to the ocean! And we all enjoyed our first experience at the NJ shore. The water was pretty cold so he didn't keep his toesies in long. He sat up playing with the beach blanket and toys for a long time. He took a nice nap in the little tent on the beach.

Caleigh enjoyed her sand toys, especially the bulldozer. She and Dan built some sandcastles and and generally got all sandy.

We took advantage of our neighbor's beach house condo a very short walk from the beach. There weren't many other people and Zach and Caleigh enjoyed walking and playing on the beach with the Stenhouses. Mr. Stenhouse was especially excited to take Zach for walks to observe the fishermen and the "Brigantine" boat and ankle deep into the water. Caleigh entertained us all with her dancing about on the beach and constant motion. We 'hit the beach' twice on our day visit, with a breakfast on their ocean view deck and a yummy lunch from a local deli. How fun! We can't believe we haven't taken them up on their offer to visit the past two summers! Hopefully we'll make it out again in 2008!
