A Day At The Beach



We took another adventure on Daddy's vacation. A trip to the beach. We went up to Wells ME. We were familiar with the area and it was a perfect day. Again we were packed and on the road by 8am. We parked, changed 3 very excited little ones into swimsuits and poured on the sunscreen. As you can see Todd was getting a workout. He had Edie on his back (22lbs.) and the twins in the buggy (24lbs. each) with all the chairs, toys and essentials tucked underneath. It was a short walk from the area where we parked to the beach.

How do you build a sandcastle with three toddlers?
Answer: you don't.
It's simply fill the bucket, tip it over and 'stomp' on it. The three (four) of them loved doing this.

Of course there is that familiar smell of the beach, kind of marshy old seaweed smell that lingers in the air. Aubrey was quick to make her super sniffer statement, 'mama, I smell someting'. Once there, the twins ran right into the ocean and Edie was quick to follow. It was her first trip and the twins second trip to the beach. The water was about 60 degrees, and we found a quiet little spot with a quick exit. We were by some tide pools and everyone got to explore or find a cool place to sit as the tide came in. I kept commenting how beautiful the day was.
