The June grass was gone! It was clear and gorgeous and the perfect beach day. Instead of leaving at 6 am (which we typically try to do) we decided to pack everything but a set of dry clothes and shampoo. We didn't have to check out until 11, so we got down to the beach by 7:30 and stayed until we absolutely couldn't stay any longer.
The waves were awesome!
The sky was overcast...which worked out nicely. We ran out of sunscreen yesterday.
There were dolphins playing about 100 feet from where we were swimming. Anna was the first to spot one and said quietly to herself, "huh. I just saw a dolphin." I wasn't even sure that she knew that dolphins really existed outside of jewelry and stuffed animals. When Laney finally saw one, the look on her face was one of those "this was totally worth it" moments.
We had a perfect morning.
Everly did what she does best...pile sand on her chunky little thigh.
Laney search for more shells and had a couple run-ins with the high tide. Besides the dolphin sighting, she was the most ready to head back to Kansas.
Mathew and I had fun game of Ocean Net Ball. If you fail to catch the ball, eventually it will come back to you on the waves. Very fun.
Megan got some good runs in on the boogie board.
Ethan was determined to catch a fish....and he finally did!
After many attempts at building a castle...promptly smashed by Everzilla...we realized we need to think bigger. We need a huge sea turtle.
Mark took all the pictures we wished we had taken all week, rode some waves and made the best seashell find of all. I even found a little sand dollar!
It was the perfect ending.
And now we DRIVE.
Love the pics!
