It has been so long since we've been to the beach the girls had to get in and play with Daddy right away. Rusty took them snorkeling. Ridge stayed in the shade of his stroller. By the time they got back the happy minutes were gone. Ridge was already snuggled in my arms under the shade of his blanket (100% bamboo fabric blanket, the absolute perfect material for this weather). Ridge didn't get any water time at the Saturday beach day.
Katelyn loved snorkeling on Rusty's back, though.
And Kyleigh is all practiced up for our trip to the big Island. We are hoping to catch the dolphins near Captain Cook's monument again.
Plus she found a huge sea cucumber. Sea cucumbers are an instant kid attractor at the beach and Kyleigh is an amazing hero with her find.
I ventured out to the beach again the same week. Just me and the kids. I waffled back and forth before finally getting the courage to try it alone. I kept telling myself that I have to start if it is going to get any easier. We had a great time. I found that I need an umbrella and the stroller is key. Ridge did get some salt water exposure and loved it. Every day beach weather is around the corner (no, it is not beach weather every day) and I will be ready!
